July and August have had more rain than usual, but concrete is still being poured. Our team is dedicated to the safety of our crew despite the lake levels fluctuating.
Download/view the August construction updates In July we placed concrete and achieved 95% installation completion of the Secord steel sheet pile auxiliary spillway among other things. These activities are closely monitored by the project team to ensure a durable final product.

Fun fact: 198 people have gone through Fisher Contracting's safety orientation. It has been three years since the Edenville Dam failure and we can be proud of our progress
