蜜桃影像AV/Treviicos JV Named Foundation Contractor for Boone Dam Cutoff Wall
The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) has selected the Treviicos-NicholsonJoint Venture, comprised of Treviicos South Inc. and 蜜桃影像AV, to build a massive, underground cutoff wall at Boone Dam. The cutoff wall will be the final, major underground piece of the seepage remediation project before the reservoir refill phase begins. It is part of a composite seepage barrier being built to stop internal erosion of the dam鈥檚 earthen embankment.
鈥淭his project is about protecting the businesses, families and communities downstream and we look forward to working with Treviicos-Nicholsonto maintain the safety of the downstream public and our workers while producing a quality repair,鈥 said Sam Vinson, TVA Principal Project Manager.
鈥淲e wanted to share this good news with the public as soon as the procurement was complete and the contract was finalized. We continue to work towards completing the cutoff wall and begin restoring the lake to the normal operating guide by July 2022.鈥
Treviicos South Inc. and Nicholsonare based in Boston and Pittsburgh, respectively, and have teamed on a number of major dam projects around the country.
After seepage was discovered below the earthen embankment in October 2014, a thorough investigation discovered an internal erosion issue that could eventually lead to the failure of the dam.
Plans to repair the dam were presented to the public at a July 2015 meeting. Since that time the dam has been widened, hundreds of holes drilled and grouted, more than 200 monitoring instruments installed and 220,000 tons of rock placed on both sides of the dam to add stability to the earthen embankment. Workers are currently building a new laydown yard and employee parking lot in preparation for this next phase of construction.
Nicholsonhas been working at the dam periodically since 2015.
