C1.05 - Rehabilitation of Lake Dunlap Dam
Analyzing best method to rehabilitate the TP-1 Dam.
Sponsor: Ingram School of Engineering
Student Team: Richard Kortz, Sydney McKean, Sarah Brooks, Andrew Price
Faculty Advisor: Dr. Feng Hong
Our project consists of analyzing different engineering solutions to repair or rehabilitate the Lake Dunlap (TP-1) dam after its failure in May 2019. The failure occurred as one of the dam's bear trap spill gates collapsed under heavy water flow due to flooding conditions. We will evaluate the feasibility of 3 alternatives: rebuilding the dam, removing the dam completely, or replacing the spill gates. We will present one solution deemed as the "best" solutions under the criteria of state regulations, cost, efficiency, and public opinion.
