We were selected to replace the aging Lake Alvin Dam spillway — a vital water control structure with significant environmental and seasonal implications. Our team demolished and removed the original spillway, followed by excavation, grading, and constructing a reinforced concrete replacement.
We drove a new sheet pile wall for foundation support, installed a low-level drawdown system, and completed all associated utility connections to ensure safe and regulated flow. Each phase was executed with careful attention to environmental impact and durability, safeguarding the long-term functionality of the dam for the community and the surrounding habitat.
Timing was everything on this project. With spring runoff looming, we faced a non-negotiable winter deadline to replace the spillway before snowmelt surged the reservoir. Cold-weather pours, limited daylight, and frozen ground conditions demanded tight sequencing and fast-track decision-making.
Despite the compressed timeline and extreme conditions, our team delivered — maintaining structural precision, environmental protections, and clear communication throughout. The successful completion of this time-sensitive replacement reflects Meyer’s capability to execute essential water infrastructure on schedule, even on a tight deadline.
