Corps completes pile concrete work at Wolf Creek Dam

摘要

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Nashville District poured concrete in March for the last pile of Wolf Creek Dam's seepage barrier wall as part of a dam safety improvement project. The seepage barrier wall was installed by Treviicos Soletanche JV. The step marks the last and most critical part of the project, the Corps said, which was required to mitigate seepage through the karst geology deep in Wolf Creek Dam's foundation. The Corps identified the earthfill and concrete gravity dam as being critically near failure or having extremely high life or economic risk.
