The basic interconnected units of which the pumping station building itself consists are reinforced concrete structure of the inlet structure, reinforced concrete structure of the central part of the pumping station, reinforced concrete structure of the pressure channel, reinforced concrete structure of the inflow structure, and accompanying mechanical and hydraulic equipment.
