Heavy Civil RAISING THE BAR ON AN OHIO DAM

INSIDE THE PROJECT

This project consisted of raising the existing Earthen Dam using precast concrete mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) wall panels and vinyl sheet piling (VSP) as a cutoff wall. The VSP was installed at a depth of 30 feet through a bentonite slurry wall that ran the entire length of the dam. The dam raising was approximately 1,600 feet long and 13 feet high. This project also included the construction of a mile long access road, existing spillway and spillway inlet raising.
