Blalock Dam & Reservoir
Spartanburg, South Carolina
Thalle rehabilitated Blalock Dam and Reservoir to provide additional storage of water for the City of Spartanburg. The project included overlaying the existing earthen dam with a layer of roller compacted concrete (RCC), upgrading the existing spillway by furnishing and installing three hydraulically operated spillway crest gates and constructing a new concrete ogee crest. In addition, a bridge across the spillway was built and a new sluice gate was installed at the intake structure. The contract also required extensive clearing around the perimeter of the reservoir to accommodate higher water levels.
Boyd's Corner Dam Reconstruction
Kent, New York
For the New York City Department of Environmental Protection, Thalle Construction modified and reconstructed a 100-year old masonry dam and its outlet facilities. This dam is one of the initial reservoirs of the Greater New York water supply system. It's reconstruction required grouting and post-tensioning in addition to extensive concrete work and bridge construction. To enable water to flow toward outlet facilities, Thalle installed new valves, gates, piping, and instrumentation. Because sustaining the natural habitat at the dam was a fundamental concern, Thalle applied water flow temperature controls to maintain a suitable environment for marine biology.
