WAC Bennett Dam Slope Stabilization
On March 25, 2011, Hall Constructors was awarded the contract to perform slope stabilization works above the spillway at BC Hydro’s WAC Bennett Dam near Hudson’s Hope, BC. This project will consist of blasting and excavating over 230,000 cubic yards of rock as well as installing anchors and shotcrete on the final slopes above the spillway. Upon completion of the blasting, protective rock mesh will be installed to further minimize the possibility of rock fall. This project is scheduled to be completed in November, 2011.
