Mesitas


Mesitas Hydroelectric Project comprises two in-series power plants: El Paraíso and La Guaca. The main structures of the project are:

El Paraiso Power Station:


The power station is composed of a 12.4-km long headrace tunnel, with circular and horseshoe concrete-lined cross-sections, 4.2 m and 4.8 m in diameter, respectively, and a 3.7 m diameter steel liner in some sectors.

The surface power plant houses three vertical-axis Pelton turbines, that generate 92 MW each. It also includes three 100 MVA generators, two three-phase power transformers and two bridge cranes.

A 177 m long vertical shaft of circular cross-section and inner concrete-lined diameter of 4.2 m.

La Guaca Powerhouse:

The power station includes a 3.259 m long both smooth and banded steel penstock.

A surface powerhouse includes three Pelton vertical-axis Pelton turbines, three generators and two bridge cranes cranes.

A 184 long vertical steel-lined shaft of circular cross-section, 3.1 m in diameter.

Muña III Pumping Station:

Located 18 km south of Bogota, the station has a maximum pumping head of 37.5 m. The pumping station houses three vertical-axis Francis pumps, with a capacity of 17.5 m/s each, two three-phase power transformers and a pumping discharge line 420 m long and
3.5 m in diameter.
