Thanks, this sounds useful. We are having a meeting on the design next week and I would like to be able to present these type of enhancements for the project. Our total levee length is about 60 miles so there would be great opportunity for trails around the perimeter or on the top. The team has...
What is the slope of this dam? The levee we are looking at is 1V:0.5H. Could you give some details on how covering it with soil is being viewed as environmental mitigation?
I would like to see if anyone has experience in using roller compacted concrete for the construction of above ground reservoir levees. This design is being considered as an option for a large levee surrounding a 36,000 acre above ground reservoir. The designs I have seen are terraced and I would...
That's the problem. They have asked our engineers to provide the modeling data, our biologists have provided the ecological data, but they have not volunteered to give us any reasons for their opinion. The only thing we can get from them is that we are losing the possibility to expand the...
Need to get some advice concerning a seepage management feature proposed for a large reservoir. The reservoir has a capacity of approximately 400k acre-feet at a depth of 12'. It is an aboveground reservoir surrounded by levees. The reservoir is constructed aboveground due to the highly...
