Water and earthquake safety: adjustment study of the waterway system of Moglia di Sermide
Technical and economic feasibility study for the adjustment or movement of the waterway system of Moglia di Sermide.
The study, made following the earthquake in Emilia in 2012, was on the technical analysis of the need to adjust or completely substitute a historical reclaimed area around Moglie di Sermide, near Mantua.
It is a complex of great historical, architectural and technological value, built at the start of the 1900s and still functioning along the main bank of the Po River. It is therefore a strategic waterway system for its territorial defence from flooding function.
Its function allows the lifting and extraction of the waters coming from the areas on the right of the Secchia River directly into the Po, even with high levels of the great river. After a certain level the lifting is suspended so as not too stress the high flow of the Po too much.
From this level on, any possible rain water coming from inland is sent along the canal network which functions as a throttling basin until the lifting system can be reactivated.
The functional characteristics of this system have great importance for land protection and require seismic checks and successive updates accord to the schedule set out by law.
To this end, the study first focused on the work required for seismic safety updates of the building where the lifting system is housed. At the same time a possible idea of transferring the whole structure was considered in case the required interventions were considered too much of an impact for the existing building from a cultural and historical point of view since the building is under superintendence.
