Barton Dam - Right Embankment Remediation

Professional engineering services for remediating the Barton Dam right embankment. The embankment is a 1,500+ foot earthen structure that retains Barton Pond. Seepage from the embankment is controlled by a series of 75 toe drains emptying into a collector ditch. Over the years, toe drains in the mid-section of the embankment have discharged both fine and granular earth material. Also, random seepage, boils and isolated areas of saturated, unstable ground have been observed near the toe and collector ditch. In response to the irregular seepage, various studies and remediation projects have been completed. The embankment, toe drain discharges and piezometers continue to be monitored on a frequent basis.
