WEE WAH LAKE DAM AND POND No. 3 DAM REHABILITATION PROJECT Village of Tuxedo Park Meeting: March 15, 2017 1. So the task at hand was to understand…how to improve stability of a dam 2. Recognize the “previous modes”... post-tensioned anchors through the dam 3. Expand on them and take a more inclusive approach which was to consider passive rock mass reinforcement.
Critical Dam Safety Criteria Wee Wah Lake Dam Is Spillway Capacity sufficient to pass SDF (50% of PMF) Stability of the concrete gravity and earthen embankment Can outlet works effectively drawdown the pool level in event of dam emergency
