The Gross Reservoir Expansion Project will raise the height of the existing dam by 131 feet to triple the reservoir's water storage capacity.

The project started in April of 2022 and is estimated to take 5 years to complete.

My primary role on this project was Lead Superintendent for the dam foundation excavation operation. This involved the rock excavation, rock slope anchor installation, and foundation preparation and cleaning along the entire new footprint of the dam.

I held several roles on this project including Discipline Engineer and Roadway Excavation Superintendent. As the Discpline Engineer I was in charge of the internal documentation for all civil operations. As a Roadway Excavation Superintendent I managed crews executing the freeway widening work.
