This week, WCRC’s contractor focused on protecting the site from several rain events. The washout being repaired was caused by outdated stormwater collection systems, so the contractor reinforced the open excavations with additional ditching and other preventative measures. They also worked on removing abandoned utilities from the washout area.
The photo below shows laborers licensed in handling the removal of asbestos; a material commonly used during the initial construction of the dam. The pipe was safely and successfully removed. Additionally, WCRC’s contractor began installing upgraded stormwater systems with work to continue into the week of April 7.
WCRC will continue to send out updates as the project progresses. Have questions? Contact Neeko Robison, Project Manager – Design & Construction, (734) 327-6660, or via email at [email protected].
