The new crest on Paradise Dam is expected to be finished by next month and the anchor trials are progressing.
While the results aren’t in just yet, here’s what we do know.
CPB Contractors, the lead contractor for the Essential Works, has procured a specialist post-tensioned anchoring and drilling subcontractor to undertake the anchor trial works, according to the Sunwater’s January update on the trials.
The anchoring trial will test the capacity of the existing dam foundation/ground conditions to hold post-tensioned anchors; and potential settlement that could occur within weak foundation materials.
