Single-column mixing at Moose Creek Dam Safety Modification Project
An auger digs into the top of Moose Creek Dam during a modification project at the Chena River Lakes Flood Control Project in North Pole, Alaska. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers – Alaska District is improving the strength and stability of the dam with a mix-in-place barrier wall.
