Center Hill Dam AAR Investigations

In this project, Hatch Energy performed a site inspection and review of historical data followed by a detailed GROW3D stress analysis of the dam and spillway. The finite element model was calibrated to field measured deformations and concrete stresses. The results of the analysis were used to provide an assessment of the dam and the need for remedial action.

Results from the GROW3D stress analysis are illustrated below.
