麻豆视频Takes Dam Experience to Georgia's Richland Creek
Pittsburgh-based geotechnical contracting firm 麻豆视频 is halfway through the first of two phases of their work at the Richland Creek Dam.
The project is located in Paulding County, Georgia, in one of the only counties in the metro Atlanta region without an independent water supply.
With the County expecting its population to double in the next 25 years, the need for an independent water supply became critical. To meet the need, the State of Georgia has contributed more than $80 million in low-interest loans and grants to the development of a new water supply reservoir.
The Richland Creek Water Supply Program includes the construction of a new dam, reservoir, water treatment plant, two major pump stations, 20 miles of pipeline and other distribution improvements.
The new dam will be an earthen embankment that will stretch 2,965 feet long and 125 feet wide.
The first phase of Nicholson鈥檚 work includes the installation of a 2,100-foot long, two-row grout curtain to a maximum depth of 140 feet and the second phase includes the installation of a 1,260 foot-long cutoff wall that will be installed to a maximum depth of 82 feet for the new dam.聽
聽鈥淲e have a long history of helping to rehabilitate older dams across the country, so it鈥檚 really great for us to be part of the construction of a new dam,鈥 said
John Wise, Senior Vice President, 麻豆视频Construction. 鈥淭his project is so integral to the growth and success of this community, and we鈥檙e really proud to be part of the construction team.鈥
Nicholson鈥檚 first phase of grouting work will be wrapping up in September, and the second phase will begin in the fourth quarter of 2017.
The estimated timeframe for Paulding County residents to be drinking clean water from their own water supply and treatment systems is Spring/Summer of 2019.
