Description of Services

Conneautville Dam rehabilitation in the Borough of Conneautville, Crawford County, Pennsylvania.  Conneautville Dam is owned and operated by the Borough of Conneautville.

The objectives of this project are to rehabilitate the dam to meet or exceed state and federal dam safety criteria, to maintain the current level of flood protection provided by Conneautville Dam by implementing the established design for rehabilitation.

The rehabilitation design requires realignment of auxiliary spillway channel and expansion of the training dike; installation of a sheetpile wall along the left side of the auxiliary spillway; lime treatment of surficial dispersive soils on the embankment, auxiliary spillway, and training dike; reconfiguration of the 8-inch diameter embankment drain pipes in the vicinity of the principal spillway impact basin; construction of a filter diaphragm below the existing principal spillway outlet conduit; and replacement of the existing trash rack installed on the inlet structure.

Due to anticipated subsurface water and presence of soft silty soils at the outlet of the principal spillway pipe, removal of water and dewatering will be necessary.  Evidence of the soft and wet soils has resulted in settlement and pipe joint movement of the principal spillway conduit over the years since original dam construction.

It is expected that use of a pugmill or batch mixing plant will be needed to do the soil mixing. 

The duration of this project is approximately 220 calendar days after the Notice to Proceed (NTP) is issued.
