Dam Repair<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

Nature is a force to be reckoned with. Water can erode and damage even the strongest of metals and materials. Damage to a dam happens over time leading to numerous problems. Most dams experience seepage or settlement issues later on in their life. Our professional team at American Erosion Control can fix and address any issues you have.<\/p>\n

Seepage is a common issue dams go through. It can occur in numerous ways: under, through, or even around the dam. Even though the amount of seepage may seem negligible, the consequences aren\u2019t. The damage can be substantial if not identified and repaired quickly. This can lead to weaker structures and foundations.<\/p>\n

Settlement occurs when root formations are solidified under the force and weight of the water and dam. Cracking of concrete dams and levels of fragility within earthen dams are results of differential movement. These are important structural issues that need attention and care.<\/p>\n

No matter what the dam is built out of, our team of professionals at American Erosion Control can identify and repair any problems you may have. American Erosion Control has the experience, equipment, and knowledge to ensure satisfaction.<\/p>\n

Why Some Ponds Fail\u2026<\/b><\/h3>\n

Poor maintenance is the leading causes of pond failure. A poorly maintained detention pond can lead to unpleasant odors, nuisance insects rodents, and becomes an unsafe area.<\/p>\n

Detention ponds can fail for several reasons such as:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Poor vegetation maintenance such as out of control weed growth or too little mowing<\/li>\n
  • Clogged inlets or outlet resulting from trash and debris, and sediment accumulation<\/li>\n
  • The excess build up of silt<\/li>\n
  • Failed side slopes of the embankment (Erosion)<\/li>\n
  • Inadequate access to the pond which complicates routine maintenance activities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Definitions:<\/b><\/h2>\n

    Dry Detention Pond<\/b>\u00a0\u2013 A pond designed to temporarily detain stormwater runoff and to release it over a period of time, generally no more than 72 hours, designed to NOT have a significant permanent pool of water<\/p>\n

    Emergency Spillway<\/b>\u00a0\u2013 Conveyance feature of a detention pond to discharge excess stormwater flows to maintain the integrity of the pond structure during substantial runoff events.<\/p>\n

    Orifice<\/b>\u00a0\u2013 A controlled opening on the outlet structure through which stormwater is discharged from the pond.<\/p>\n

    Outlet \u2013\u00a0<\/b>A structure that controls the rate of release from the pond, the water depth in the pond, and storage volume of the pond.<\/p>\n

    \u00a0OCS<\/b>\u00a0\u2013 Outlet Control Structure<\/p>\n

    Regional Pond<\/b>\u00a0\u2013 A pond designed to capture stormwater runoff from a large regional area.<\/p>\n

    Rip Rap<\/b>\u00a0\u2013 Rock material, generally larger than 4\u2033 in diameter, typically used to stabilize channels that convey stormwater.<\/p>\n

    Riser<\/b>\u00a0\u2013 A vertical pipe which can function as the outlet structure of a pond. One or more openings are located in the riser to control the flow out of a pond.<\/p>\n

    Trash Rack<\/b>\u00a0\u2013 A structural feature of the outlet that prevents large trash and debris from clogging or blocking the outlet.<\/p>\n

    Water Quality Pond<\/b>\u00a0\u2013 A detention pond with an orifice sized to allow time for settling and filtering of pollutants before the runoff is discharged from the pond.<\/p>\n

    Wet Detention Pond<\/b>\u00a0\u2013 A pond designed to have a permanent pool of water after a storm event.<\/p>\n
