Bachman Lake Dam Rehab

Dallas Water Utilities is rehabilitating the Bachman Lake Dam and Spillway to minimize flood risk, ensure dam safety and meet regulatory requirements.

Construction underway on the Bachman Dam and Spillway

Bachman Dam was originally built in 1901 to supply water for Dallas. Today, it is no longer used for water supply yet serves an important role in mitigating flooding of nearby properties, infrastructure and businesses.

While the dam has only needed minor repairs over its lifetime, larger improvements are required to minimize flood risk and comply with regulations for dam safety. Trail improvements are also needed for public safety and better accessibility.

Lake dredging was completed in Spring 2023 to restore the lake’s depth. Construction on the dam, lake spillways and trail improvements began in December of 2023.

Bachman Lake Dam

As part of rehabilitating Bachman Lake Dam, an “Articulated Concrete Block” system is being added. This method uses concrete blocks that cover a portion of the dam’s earthen embankment to mitigate erosion during heavy rains and flooding. Crews began placing the blocks on the dam last week.

Como parte de la rehabilitación de la presa del Lago Bachman, se está agregando un sistema de “bloque de hormigón articulado”. Este método utiliza bloques de hormigón que cubren una parte del terraplén de tierra de la presa para mitigar la erosión durante las fuertes lluvias e inundaciones. Los equipos empezaron a colocar los bloques en la presa la semana pasada.

Bachman Lake Dam

Construction crews have made significant progress over the last month, transforming the new Bachman Lake Spillway side walls from a line of shafts into a smooth concrete finish. Watch as crews place temporary concrete forms and steel supports to hold the concrete’s weight until it sets. Then, they steadily and carefully pour the concrete into the form. After it sets, the crews remove the steel supports and move on to the next panel.

Los equipos de construcción han progresado mucho durante el último mes, transformando los nuevos muros laterales del desagüe del Lago Bachman de una línea de pilotes a un acabado de hormigón liso. Observe cómo los equipos colocan encofrados provisionales de hormigón y soportes de acero para sostener el peso del hormigón hasta que se seque. Después, vierten el hormigón en el encofrado de forma constante y cuidadosa y una vez seco el hormigón, los equipos retiran los soportes de acero y pasan al siguiente panel.

Bachman Lake Dam

The construction crews are installing six special instruments (called piezometers) to monitor groundwater levels in the dirt embankment of the Bachman Lake Dam. These instruments have a total of nine sensors and will send real-time data to the Bachman Water Treatment Plant, a significant upgrade to the current methods for checking the dam’s groundwater level status. Crews are drilling holes to precise depths and then securing the instruments in place with a central pipe.

Los equipos están perforando hoyos a profundidades precisas y luego asegurando los instrumentos en su lugar con un tubo central.
