After analysis of three different alternatives, our chosen solution to rehabilitate the Lake Dunlap Dam after its failure in May 2019 was determined to be replacing the Bear Trap style spill gates. Our project will focus on the installation of three new crest Hydraulic Actuated spill gates. This includes a detailed system design of the gates and a related component design. As well as, an evaluation of the sustainability of the chosen solution.
