Sawmill Dam Removal and Eel River Restoration Project
Weston & Sampson, as part of a project team, conducted geotechnical explorations and provided design parameters and recommendations for creating the permanent breach of the Sawmill Dam on the Eel River.
As part of this project, Weston & Sampson also designed the foundations and abutments for a pedestrian bridge spanning the breach and provided construction monitoring services during installation of two roadway culverts crossing the Eel River to improve flow characteristics along the river. In addition, we prepared the roadway traffic management plan for the Long Pond Road culvert installation to comply with local and state highway department requirements.
