Description

Excerpt from The Miami Conservancy Bulletin, Vol. 3: December, 1920 The view shows especially the flat sand and gravel slopes of the dam embankment, these growing flatter at each berm (or horizontal shelf), to give the dam a broad base, and ample stability. The upstream slope is similar. October and the first six days in November, cubic yards, carrying the embankment to comple tion on November 6, with a total of cubic yards of earth material placed. The Spillway (see page 73) was begun in June of 1919, excavation being started 011 that date, and continued as fietted with the exigencies of other work, till its completion in August, 1920, the total quantity being cubic yards. The concreting plant as erected during July, 1920, and the excava tion for bridge piers begun. Placing the concrete was started early in August, and the pouring of piers 2, 3, 4 and 5 completed by the end of the month. The slope revetments, cut-off trenches and wiers were finished during September and the remainder of the work, both on the - spillway and spillway bridge, were completed during October, including removal of falsework and trimming and finishing of the concrete. Evidence of the remarkable adapta tion of the spillway site to its purpose is seen in the fact that the total concrete in both bridge and spill way was only 952 cubic yards.
