Spier Falls Dam Repointing

Spier Falls Dam Repointing

Hydroelectric Commercial Construction

Project Name and Location: Spier Falls Dam Repointing Spier Falls, NY
Client: Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation
Type of Contract: General Contractor
Contract Amount: $280,542
Project Description: This challenging project consisted of cleaning and removal of vegetation from the downstream face of this 99 year old stone dam, and repointing the laid-up stone face. All personnel and materials were transported to the top of the dam using a ¼ mile long walkway, and then lowered to the actual work site with cables and staging. During the course of the project, the owner elected to take advantage of lowered water levels, and we were able to make additional masonry repairs to the upstream face of the dam.
Owner’s Feedback: “The contractor performed all required tasks in a professional, safe, and expeditious manner. The work involved working off scaffolding at significant heights. the contractor provided a safe working system, trained his employees, and completed the work without incident.”
