The weir, together with its two radial gates and the canal, are part of the city’s flood protection system.
The small-scale hydropower plant consists of a 30 m long, approximately 12 m wide and 7 m high hollow body weir housing, twelve TG units, with spillway gates mounted on top of the weir, and an operation building adjacent to the weir structure.
After a record construction time of only one year, Nussdorf went into operation successfully in 2005.
