South Dam Completed
South Dam Completed
In fall 2017, Barnard Pennecon Limited Partnership completed the South dam. This dam was constructed over two seasons; with foundation preparation and approximately 50% of fill placed in 2016, and the remainder of embankment construction in 2017. This 250 m long dam closes the south part of the reservoir between the south bank and the powerhouse and will hold water in the reservoir. It is a conventional rock-filled dam constructed by building up layers of rock and till material on the underlying bedrock, which serves as a foundation for the dam. A road is also built at the top of the dam to provide access to the intake and spillway.
