TOA VACA RETROFIT
STATE-OF-THE-ART DAM CONTROL BUILDING
PRASA was committed to funding a remediation project to improve the conditions of the Toa Vaca Dam. The improvements were to be focused in the Dam operation, monitoring and controls systems. TRCE conducted a detailed assessment of the spillway and intake tower, developed a restoration approach and designed the improvements required at the dam to comply with the original Designers Operation Criteria as a minimum. A new two-story structure of 2,100 SF was designed and the existing access room structure was remodeled to provide a controls room area with view to the spillway gates and intake tower, Emergency Power Generator enclosure, meeting/office room, and a secured access to the sprillway tunnel and to the spillway platform. TRCE was contracted by Black & Veatch to prepare the design and construction documents.
