Bethany CT
West River Pond Dam was rehabilitated to preserve its original stone face. Using the existing structure and backfill as forming, a new dam was poured after excavating to bedrock. The rock face was pinned and bonded with each pour to ensure stability. The exposed face and penstock were repointed, with missing stones replaced. A new primary inlet structure replaced the old, inoperable wooden-slide valve, and a custom trash rack with a chain fall was added for maintenance. The secondary valve was also replaced.
Middlefield CT
Lake Beseck dam is a state-owned dam in Middlefield CT that required a new curved upstream cutoff wall that was pinned into the original stone face dam. We penetrated the existing stone masonry without damaging the historic brownstone face in order to install a new 48” ductile iron pipe to a new low level stop log outlet structure.
Oxford CT
The rehabilitation of Towatic Pond Dam included removing years of trees and shrubs that were growing around and though the dam, exposing the bedrock at the bottom of the dam and installing tow drains, doing a stepped pour on the downstream side of the dam, a new cutoff wall on the upstream side, installing a new box culvert in the center, and fabricating custom fences and gates to match the taper of the spillway.
Warren CT
Bromley Pond Dam needed an access road to get to the dam as a major part of the project. Once at the spillway, a coffer dam was built to control the water so we could clear debris and form a new spillway that incorporated a low level outlet, normal water weir elevation and additional surface area for emergency spillway capacity while using stone from the site to add to the aesthetic design of the surroundings.
Nash Pond
Nash Pond Dam was in poor condition when we were contacted and had already breached. We constructed a new structure that incorporated a sluice gate and stop logs for water control. Once the dam was repaired we removed stumps and years of sediment deposits.
Bedford, NY
Beaver Lake Dam was over 250 feet long, breached in the middle. We installed a new concrete cap, spillway with stop log structure and downstream rip rap for scour protection.
Granby, CT
McLean Game Refuge, Granby, CT. This project consisted of Phase 1, construct a diversion dam to Trout Pond and a fish passageway. Phase 2 was to completely remove Trout Pond Dam which was in very poor condition and replace with a stepped spillway as well as streambank protection for both sites.
Roxbury, CT
Van Heusen Dam was leaking badly and in danger of collapse. The owner wanted to keep the original mortared stone appearance. We poured a new wall upstream, rebuilt those areas that needed masonry repairs and added a cantilevered granite spillway. We also repaired the existing valve. In addition we built several pedestrian bridges over Jacks Brook, along with approx 2000 lf of walking trails.
Enfield, CT
Crescent Lake Dam was for CTDEP the earthen dikes were overgrown with brush and small trees which had to be mowed. The spillway was cracked and leaning in danger of falling over. We built a stepped spillway in front of existing cracked spillway wall. We built a new intake structure with wingwalls and outlet pipe. The structure included a new sluice gate to control the flows. In addition over 1000lf of new rip rap slope protection and streambank protection.
New Preston, CT
Woodruff Dam was leaking badly on the right side; the low level pipe was broken. The owner wanted to keep the masonry appearance once finished.
Salisbury, CT
Fisher Pond Dam got a complete re-conscution consisting of a new concrete spillway, earthen bearms re-graded for easy maintenance and rip-rap installed on the pond side bank for protection against waves.
