Building the Folsom Dam Auxiliary Spillway For Water Control In California

摘要

Aluma Systems is working with Granite Construction, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Dept. of Interior on the massive, $900-million Folsom Dam Spillway that will provide a 200-year flood control system for California's Sacramento Valley. The spillway structure is over 196 ft tall and 367 ft wide and has six operable gates to control the flow of water from Folsom Lake into the American River. Aluma Systems designed and supplied custom steel rollback wallforms with platforms, custom steel tunnel and void forms, standard Crane Set wallforms, Aluma Frame shoring towers for the headworks monoliths and Surelock Stairway Tower for access. The concrete portion of this two-and-a-half-year project is to be completed by March 2015. Scheduling production and on-time delivery of the formwork systems for this technically challenging endeavor took tremendous dedication and effort on the part of everyone involved.
