Project Description: (Approx. quantities)
The project consists of repairing joint damage to the existing outlet works conduit at Cottonwood Springs Dam. The cast-in-place reinforce concrete conduit has a 48-inch inside diameter and is 571.5 feet in length with 29 monoliths. Since the first periodic inspection, settlement and joint cracking of the conduit along the maximum fill section (monoliths 11 through 14) of the dam and above the impervious fill core trench has been reported. This cracking can be attributed to differential settlement of approximately 0.5 feet occurring primarily during the initial construction and the five to seven years following. An additional 0.1 feet (0.7 feet total) of settlement has occurred to date. Repairs shall consist of placing grout to eliminate offset and open joints in the conduit and then inverting a jointless cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) liner through the length of the conduit.
The estimated construction cost of this project is between $250,000 and $500,000.
