TOA VACA RETROFIT
STATE-OF-THE-ART DAM CONTROL BUILDING
PRASA committed to funding a remediation project to improve the operational conditions of Toa Vaca Dam, with a focus on dam operations, monitoring, and control systems. TRCE conducted a detailed assessment of the spillway and intake tower, developed a restoration approach, and designed the improvements required to ensure compliance with the original Designer’s Operational Criteria as a minimum standard.
A new two-story, 2,100-square-foot structure was designed, and the existing access room structure was remodeled to provide a control room with views of the spillway gates and intake tower, an emergency power generator enclosure, a meeting/office room, and secured access to the spillway tunnel and spillway platform.
TRCE was contracted by Black & Veatch to prepare the design and construction documents.
