The surge tank has dia 12 m and is 140 m high, with two bottom and two upper chambers, dia 6 to 10 m, length 65 m each. The machine building is dug-in and its dimensions are 90x40 m and 38 m high. The bottom entry-exit structure with the well chamber and the hole 7x16 m is in the concrete dam "Bajina Basta".
