BAUER Foundation Corp. awarded $106 million contract for Center Hill Dam Barrier Wall in Tennessee
| Odessa, FL (Sept. 23, 2011) - Bauer Foundation Corp. announced Friday the award of a $106 million contract to install a barrier wall at Center Hill Dam in Cookeville, Tennessee, which was officially awarded late Wednesday by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. “Bauer is excited to utilize our latest Cutter technology at Center Hill Dam,” says Charles Puccini, President and CEO of BAUER. “Our technology will significantly improve the integrity of the dam and create a higher level of safety for the surrounding communities." Emplacement of the barrier wall provides immediate risk reduction benefits to the surrounding area’s population and residential, commercial and industrial properties. The barrier wall will extend from the top of the dam down through the earthen embankment to 120 feet into the foundation rock, forming a minimum two foot thick continuous barrier wall. This project will create both immediate and long term positions ranging from engineering, accounting, welding, mechanics and onsite field personnel and provide significant training and development opportunities to the heavy construction trade. Project construction will begin later this year and will continue into 2014. Other BAUER major U.S. projects include the Herbert Hoover Dike Rehabilitation cut-off wall in Florida, the Wolf Creek Gallery Grouting in Kentucky and the D.C. Water and Sewer Authority slurry wall foundation for the Denitrification Facility in Washington, D.C.
