Over 200 dams designed
Studio Pietrangeli’s first projects, in the 1960s, were the Legadadi and Busalletta dams (Ethiopia and Italy, respectively).
The innovative technical solutions adopted at that time to solve complex engineering problems started our tradition of continuous innovation and research of the highest professional quality.
Today, after more than five decades of activity, SP has successfully designed over 200 dams of all kind (RCC, rockfill, earthfill, etc) in 35 countries.
Several of our projects are “world records”.
Gibe III
H = 250 m
The Gibe III dam on Omo river (Ethiopia) is the world’s highest Rolled Compacted Concrete (RCC) dam, with a final height of 250 m.
Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam
H = 150 m, L = 1780 m
Grand Ethiopian Renaissance, on the Blue Nile river (Ethiopia), will be one of the largest RCC dam in the world (1780 m long and 150 m high).
