ENSC-22 | Construction of Cle Elum Dam Fish Passage Structure

Garco has been contracted by the Bureau of Reclamation to build a fish passage facility at the Cle Elum, WA dam site. ENSC-22 was tasked with designing a shoring system that takes into account the influence of the Cle Elum lake and changes in water surface elevation. The team completed a geotechnical and hydrological analysis to determine site constraints. The shoring design includes an excavation support system, construction sequence, and design drawings. The team designed soldier pile walls in conjunction with wood lagging and tiebacks. The ENSC-22 team completed the project by creating plan drawings in AutoCAD which were submitted to Garco and passed onto the Bureau of Reclamation.
