Full title and description

SP 58.13330.2012 — "Гидротехнические сооружения. Основные положения" (Hydraulic structures. Basic statements). Актуализированная редакция СНиП 33‑01‑2003; свод правил, содержащий общие требования и основные положения по проектированию, строительству, эксплуатации, реконструкции и ликвидации речных и морских гидротехнических сооружений всех видов и классов.

Abstract

This national code (SP) establishes principal technical provisions and organizational requirements for hydraulic structures (dams, spillways, water intake and discharge structures, HPP buildings, navigation structures and associated works). It updates and consolidates key parts of СНиП 33‑01‑2003 into a single svod pravil to be used by designers, constructors and operators of hydraulic works. Sections include classification by hazard class, design bases, reliability justification, operational and protection zone rules, and referenced loads and actions.

Scope

The svod pravil applies to newly designed, under‑construction, operated, reconstructed and decommissioned river and sea hydraulic structures of all kinds and classes. It sets out general design and safety requirements covering classification of structures by hazard/responsibility class, principal technical solutions, reliability justification, and requirements for structural elements, foundations, hydrotechnical equipment and operational/protection zones. The document consolidates and updates provisions of СНиП 33‑01‑2003 for use across projects involving dams, spillways, hydropower buildings, water intakes, navigation facilities and related works.

Key topics and requirements

• Classification of hydraulic structures by class (I, II, III, etc.) according to risk/responsibility; rules for assigning class and consequences for design and approval.
• Design principles and basic technical solutions for dams, spillways, outlets, HPP buildings, navigational structures and associated elements.
• Requirement that main technical decisions ensuring reliability and safety of class I and II structures be substantiated by research and experimental work (to be included in project documentation).
• Foundations and geotechnical provisions specific to hydraulic works; references to related SNIPs/SPs for earth and concrete dam types.
• Loads and impacts (wave, ice, ship impact, hydrodynamic actions) handled via cross‑referenced SPs and calculation procedures.
• Operational, conservation and liquidation provisions; protection zones and limits on adjacent land use.
• Requirements for documentation, inspection, maintenance and monitoring to ensure long‑term safety and operational reliability.

These topics are framed so that designers coordinate detailed calculations with other specialized SPs and normative documents referenced in the svod pravil.

Typical use and users

Primary users: civil and hydraulic engineers, dam and HPP designers, geotechnical specialists, construction contractors, asset owners and operators of hydraulic infrastructure, regulatory bodies, and expert review organizations. The standard is used during feasibility, design, construction, commissioning, operation, reconstruction and decommissioning stages to set baseline safety and technical requirements.

Related standards

SP 58.13330.2012 is linked to and cross‑references numerous other SPs and ГОСТs, notably SP 38.13330 (loads and impacts on hydraulic structures), SP 23.13330 (foundations for hydraulic structures), SP 101.13330, SP 40.13330 and others addressing concrete, foundations, loads from ice/waves/ships and operational safety. The later consolidated edition is SP 58.13330.2019 which replaces the 2012 edition for general use.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: SP 58.13330.2012 is a Russian svod pravil titled "Гидротехнические сооружения. Основные положения" — a consolidated and updated edition of СНиП 33‑01‑2003 setting out principal requirements for hydraulic structures.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers general principles for the design, construction, operation, reconstruction, conservation and liquidation of river and marine hydraulic structures of all types and classes, including classification, reliability justification, structural and geotechnical rules, loads and operational safety provisions.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Designers, engineers (structural, hydraulic, geotechnical), constructors, owners/operators of dams and hydraulic infrastructure, regulatory authorities and expert/inspection organizations use the svod pravil throughout project and operational phases.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The 2012 edition has been superseded for general application by SP 58.13330.2019 (the 2019 svod pravil was introduced 17 June 2020). Certain sections of the 2012 edition remained listed as mandatory in government mandatory lists until those lists were updated; refer to the 2019 edition and current government lists for the operative mandatory parts.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is part of the SP (Svod pravil) series for civil construction and specifically the k.33 group of rules for hydraulic and reclamation works; it cross‑references a range of related SPs and ГОСТs on loads, foundations, concrete structures and safety.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Hydrotechnical structures, dams, spillways, hydraulic works, design basis, safety, classification, СНиП 33‑01‑2003, СП 58.13330.2019.
