Project:
A
large impoundment,Tesla Regulating Reservoir is an earthen dam designed
to regulate water levels for hydroelectric production.
Challenge:
This project involved the fabrication and installation of 2 million
sq. ft. of geotextile, geocomposite, and geomembrane. The project
presented challenges in its long steep slopes and vast lineal feet
of mechanical attachment.
The
successful installation and subsequent performance of our lining
system, inspected each year since its completion in 1996, remains
functioning as designed and intended, serving its community.
