<br />,- <br /> <br />Woodward-CIA <br /> <br />.\ <br /> <br />Our investigations indicated that the major portion of the dam would have to be rebuilt. <br />We provided continuous construction inspection and materials testing services during <br />dam reconstruction. Construction was completed in 1989. <br /> <br />Long Pond Dam, Fort Collins, Colorado - WCC conducted a hydrology study and <br />prepared plans, specifications, and cost estimates for rehabilitation of this earthfill <br />irrigation supply dam. Fast-track specification preparation and construction enabled dam <br />rehabilitation to be completed in time for the next irrigation season. WCC also provided <br />construction observation and management services for the rehabilitation of the dam. <br /> <br />Worster Dam, near Fort Collins, Colorado - Worster Dam was constructed near the turn <br />of the century and consists of an earth embankment with a concrete upstream facing. <br />The dam is approximately 80 feet in height with a crest length of approximately 700 feet. <br />WCC was retained by the owner to evaluate the conditions of the existing outlet <br />structure, the stability of the dam, and the source of seepage exiting the downstream face <br />of the dam. WCC assisted the owner by conducting a feasibility study and preparing a <br />feasibility report which was submitted to the Colorado Water Conservation Board to <br />procure financing for the project. WCC is currently preparing design plans and <br />specifications for rehabilitation of the dam and outlet works and in 1994 will serve as the <br />owner's engineer and construction manager during the construction phase of this project. <br /> <br />McKenzie-Wildcat Ditch, Colorado - This ditch intercepts and conveys water for <br />agriculture in the mountains of central Colorado. A portion of the ditch crossing one <br />of the state's largest ski areas was destroyed by a landslide in the spring of 1987. WCC <br />investigated the mechanism of the slide, designed a buttress reinforced with synthetic <br />geogrid materials to restore operation of the ditch, and has performed long term <br />monitoring of instrumentation to detect further movements. Measured movement since <br />completion of the repairs has been very small. <br /> <br />Douglas Dam, near Fort Collins, Colorado - In 1990, WCC assisted the owner in an <br />emergency release of water and subsequent safety evaluation of this 39-foot-high <br />embankment dam, after the owner observed seepage on the downstream slope. A seep <br />approximately 50 feet long and 4 feet high with a flow rate of approximately 15 gpm had <br />developed in the area above the outlet structure, <br />Woodward-Clyde Consultants <br /> <br />23360/PRO.3 12-08-93(8:53am)/RPT <br /> <br />3-6 <br />
