Work completed by Nicholson Construction on Gaylord Dam, Colorado<\/h1><\/div>
<\/div>

Nicholson Construction has been awarded by YMCA of the Rockies – Snow Mountain Ranch the restoration of the Gaylord Dam, located in Granby, Colorado.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div>

Solve the dam’s watertightness problems<\/h2><\/div>

Through regular inspections of the 26-year-old earthen embankment dam, seepage beneath the initial key depth at the spillway was detected,<\/strong> along with fractured and highly jointed bedrock. A tracer dye test showed dye appearing approximately 400 feet downstream from the spillway.<\/p>\n

Further testing and investigation confirmed the seepage and that a grout curtain within the bedrock below the overburden was the best method for water cutoff<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The dam\u2019s owner, YMCA of the Rockies \u2013 Snow Mountain Ranch, awarded Nicholson<\/a> the contract for construction of the grout curtain, which will total 660 linear feet with 660 cubic feet of grout.<\/p>\n

The project included drilling and grouting fourteen holes divided evenly by two rows parallel to and along the dam\u2019s centerline at designated locations along the spillway.<\/p>\n

Grout operations<\/a> has been conducted using the grout monitoring system, Grout IT.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Nicholson Construction has a long history of dam repair<\/h2><\/div>
\n
\n

Nicholson Construction<\/a> has installed similar solutions for dams across the country, including Canton Dam (Oklahoma,) McCook Reservoir (Illinois) and Boone Dam (Tennessee).<\/p>\n

Most recently, and in closest proximity, a grout curtain is being installed by Nicholson Construction at the Chimney Hollow Dam in Loveland, Colorado. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWe\u2019re happy to bring our grout curtain expertise to this project here in our region,\u201d said Nigel Miller, Rocky Mountain Regional Manager, Nicholson Construction. \u201cWe continuously seek out projects that improve the quality of life for the communities we live and work in \u2013 and this one fits the bill.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The project has just been completed. Congratulations to the teams!<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>
