Dams

Dams are an integral part of many water projects. More than just excavation and earthwork, they include spillways, outlet works, internal drain systems, monitoring, and more. Each project is a unique combination of these individual components. Franson Civil Engineers has in-depth experience with storage, diversion, and detention dams and their associated regulations. We have worked closely with the Utah State Dam Safety office since 1991, cultivating an effective and efficient working relationship.

Millsite Dam Rehabilitation

Franson Civil was hired by the Utah Division of Water Resources (DWRe) to design the relocation of the outlet works for the rehabilitation of the dam and spillway at Millsite Reservoir in Ferron, Utah. There are several aspects of this elaborate and substantial multi-year project that have required and continue to require excellent service. First, we completed the project design phase. We are now working full-time to provide Utah DWRe with on-site field engineering oversight and construction management.
