Fargo Diversion Inlet Structure

Added: Jun 24, 2016 1:36 pm The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Paul, Minnesota District has a requirement entitled: the Fargo Diversion Inlet Structure project. This work is part of the Fargo Moorhead Metro Area Flood Risk Management Project. The work site is near Fargo, ND (Cass County).

The work includes, but is not limited to all plant, labor, and materials to construct a gated control structure that will control the amount of water that enters the diversion channel from the upstream staging area. Features include pre-loading with wick drains, deep mixing method foundation improvement, steel piling, mass concrete, three 50-foot wide tainter gates, a parabolic spillway, stilling basin, abutment walls, dam walls to tie the structure to the dam embankments, a vehicle service bridge across the top of the dam walls and across the structure, a mechanical platform and a control building. Mass Concrete involves concrete placed in large dimensions with unique materials and mix designs. The placement requires special considerations to reduce or control the heat of hydration and the resulting temperature rise to avoid damaging the concrete through excessive temperatures and temperature differences. The work also includes approximately one thousand feet of diversion and connecting channel and dam embankments. All work will require the Contractor to follow the procedures in the Army Corps of Engineers Safety Manual.

This phase of the Fargo Moorhead Metropolitan Area Flood Risk Management Project is being competed and awarded by USACE and is separate from other phases that are currently being constructed and will be constructed by other non-Federal entities such as the Flood Diversion Board of Authority and the City of Fargo.
