The Alpe Gera Dam is a gravity dam on the Cormor River 17 km (11 mi) northeast of Sondrio in the Lombardy region of Italy. It is 174 m (571 ft) tall and supports a 35 MW hydroelectric power station.The dam was constructed between 1958 and 1964 and is best known for the concrete placement techniques used during its construction. Instead of concrete being poured into conventional monoliths it was poured in layers with a lean mix.
