Hickory Log Creek: Building a Roller-Compacted-Concrete Dam

摘要

To overcome site constraints and to meet a tight timeline for completing its new Hickory Log Creek Dam, the Cobb County-Marietta Water Authority and the city of Canton, Ga., chose to build a roller-compacted-concrete structure. Construction of the dam, completed in November 2007, taught several valuable lessons about the use of RCC. Construction of Hickory Log Creek Dam on Hickory Log Creek, a tributary of the Etowah River in Georgia, was completed in November 2007. Hickory Log Creek Dam is the highest roller-compacted-concrete (RCC) dam in Georgia and the fourth highest in North America.
