- PROJECT TITLE: American River Watershed Project, Folsom Dam Upper Tier Outlet Works Modifications, Folsom Dam and Lake, California JOB DESCRIPTION: The project includes enlargement of 4 existing river outlet works and construction of 2 new river outlet works in the interior of Folsom Dam, California, without interfering in the normal operation and maintenance of the dam and multi-pur pose reservoir. Folsom Dam is a concrete gravity dam, up to 350 in height. As part of the enlargement of the existing 5x 9 river outlets, the contractor will remove the 4 pairs of existing upper tier outlet gates, and fabricate, shop test, install, align a nd test new 9- 4 by 14 slide gates. The contractor will also excavate 2 new upper tier conduits in the dam and install new 9- 4 x 14 slide gates. The excavation for the intake for each of the conduits will be performed underwater at depths of up to about 220. A precast concrete panel, for each conduit, cast on site, will be installed, aligned, sealed and grouted in the excavated recess using underwater construction techniques. A new 5-6 diameter vertical air shaft will be bored in the dam for each of th e 6 outlets and the 4 existing 2-6 diameter air shafts will be filled with concrete. The existing horizontal air manifold tunnel will be enlarged. Two new construction adits will be excavated and one of the existing inspection galleries will be enlarged, as will a new mechanical alcove. All 6 conduits will be lined with steel-reinforced concrete and grouted; and drains and water stops will be installed.

New mechanical hydraulic power units and electrical controls will be installed, along with a communication system. The existing gantry crane and spillway bridge girders will be modified to permit replacement of the 25 ton capacity auxiliary h oist and trolley assembly with a 55 ton capacity hoist and trolley assembly.
