Taum Sauk Stabilization: Annapolis, Missouri
After a catastrophic reservoir dam failure in 2005, Kolb Grading was called to perform selected demolition and grading to provide safe access to the damaged site for Ameren and governmental officials. Working with civil engineers Rizzo & Associates, we helped write the reconstruction specs, including roll-compacted concrete and crushing requirements. This was a significant project, requiring planning, skill and creativity.
