Geodetic works during construction of hydroelectric power stations on lower Sava

Slovenia is among the water-richest countries in Europe. Through our territory runns quite a few rivers on which we have successfully built a hydroelectric power plants to generate electricity. Already in the 80 - s, our experts were increasingly concerned by the increase in renewable electricity in that way. River Sava was preferred in the lower reaches, flowing through Brežice to Croatia. It was suggested to build hydro chain, which includes construction of hydroelectric power plants: Boštanj, Blanca, Brežice and Mokrice. The first two are already built and in operation, the last in the chain is expected at the end of 2015.\ud This graduation thesis focuses on laws that are essentials for the construction of hydroelectric power plant and are strongly associated with the surveying profession (the geodetic construction plan for the design, surveying network, control measurements and registration in official records). The content of regulations and laws, is logically related to the building hydroelectric power plant Blanca. Surveyors have been through the entire process of building an indispensable part, without which the construction was not possible. \ud Surveyor is the first presence on the ground and draw a surveying plan, which helps the designer on the project. Later, his duties have increased and include: regular transfers from the project into the nature, control measurements of compliance of construction with the project, calculations of transported volumes of material, monitoring and recording changes that occured during construction, and construction of surveying and mapping plan for the registration in official records.\u
