The intervention involves the maintenance and refunctionalization of the sluice system in the Magliana – Marconi area.  The aim is to improve the management of hydraulic risk in the southern area of Rome, ensuring safety especially during flood events. The sluice gates are in a particularly degraded state due to invasive vegetation, corrosion of metal parts, and sediment deposits that affect their operation. During the design phase, a detailed hydraulic study will be conducted to determine the actual flow rates affecting the ditches and channels of the Magliana - Marconi main drainage system. Additionally, measures will be taken to identify a system to protect the facilities from tampering or theft, and the potential for automation through remote monitoring

The planned works include: 

• removal of spontaneous vegetation manually or using mechanical means in the sluice area; 

• removal of invasive vegetation on embankments using mechanical means; 

• routine and extraordinary maintenance of the sluice, including testing the operation of their motors and mechanical parts;

• repair and replacement of worn-out components; 

• restoration of the functionality of the sluice gates and supply channels; 

• renovation and maintenance of the hydraulic structures of the sluice system.
