Barberà de la Conca Director-Technical Committee

The ICGC is part of the steering and technical monitoring committee for the Barberà de la Conca crack

Between the end of July and the beginning of August 2010, a system of cracks was detected affecting the hill of the village crowned by the church of Santa Maria. The route of the cracks could be followed from the street of Valentí Almirall (elevation 448 m), ascending in a northeasterly direction to the church of Santa Maria (elevation 475 m) and then, maintaining the same direction, descending along the northern slope to the street of Raval del Castell (elevation 462 m), with a length of about 175 m.

As a result of the risk situation generated by the dynamics of the crack system, on May 8, 2013, the Barberà de la Conca Steering and Technical Monitoring Commission (CTAB) was established. The Commission aims to monitor and respond to the alert situation created. The Commission has a multidisciplinary and supramunicipal nature.
