  • Lake Eufaula Reservoir

The Walter F. George Long Term Riprap Repair project involved demolishing and replacing an armoring system at Lake Eufaula Reservoir, spanning Georgia and Alabama, with concurrent work on the dam's upstream face and lakeside, as well as shoreline protection on the riverside and resurfacing six miles of surrounding roadway.

Walter F. George Dam Riprap Repair

The Walter F. George Long Term Riprap Repair project was located at the base of the Lake Eufaula Reservoir, which is fed by the Chattahoochee River. This project consisted of demolishing the existing armor & bedding stone and installing a new armoring system from below winter pool levels of 186.00 to elevation 205.00.  The armoring system replacement stretched across the states of Georgia and Alabama with a navigational lock and power-generating dam in between. The demolition and reconstruction were broken into two phases, with each phase happening concurrently along the upstream face and lakeside of the dam. In addition to armoring the lakeside face of the dam, additional shoreline protection along the riverside of Alabama was constructed. The project’s final phase was to resurface six miles of roadway covering both sides of the dam.
