Abstract


This paper describes the connecting conduit between the Atazar Canal, which finishes at the El Goloso reservoir, and the water distribution network of Madrid, whose reservoir is at the Plaza de Castilla. The main features of this conduit are: the initial stage of the conduit, the pipe itself, the valves and the final stage of the conduit. Work has been done quickly, and the use of one of the pipes saved Madrid from undergoing strong water restrictions during the summer months. The project was adjudicated by auction, and the price estimate was about 500 million pesetas, which gives some idea of the magnitude of the enterprise.
