Garrison Dam
Riverdale, ND
BW PRODUCTS USED:
- 10-61 Repair Mortar (cut with pea gravel for deep pours)
CONTRACTOR: Maertens-Brenny Construction
ARCHITECT & ENGINEER: Army Corps of Engineers
The goal of this project was to fix spall areas to make sure the water runs smoothly with no turbulance. The bad spots had to be removed down to sound concrete. Then exposed rebar was coated with primer and the spots were filled with 10-61.
At the time of the project the water elevation of the dam was 1853.6 with a gate elevation at 1854. With only 6 inches of water storage left before it was to go over the spillway, time was of the essence.
The Garrison Dam was built in 1953 and the sillaway gates have never been used to drop the water other then to test them. They have been running since the 5th of June to reduce lake levels.
