Kleinfelder Selected to Provide Quality Assurance Services for Lake Isabella Dam Safety Modification Project
SACRAMENTO, California—Kleinfelder announced today that it has been awarded a $5 million, 5-year contract by the Sacramento District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) as the prime vendor for quality assurance sampling and testing services for the $250 million Lake Isabella Dam Safety Modification Project (DSMP) in Kern County, California.
The Lake Isabella DSMP addresses overtopping, seismic, and seepage concerns with the main and auxiliary dams and will reduce the likelihood of dam failure. Planned construction at the main dam includes excavating a new emergency spillway, modifying the existing service spillway, raising the main dam 16 feet, modifying California State Route 155 at the main dam’s right abutment, and modifying several recreation facilities north of the auxiliary dam.
“We are excited to work with USACE to assure that the Lake Isabella DSMP is constructed as designed,” said Chris Pollack, Kleinfelder’s National Laboratory Director and Project Manager. “The Lake Isabella DSPM will enhance public safety and improve water supply for the surrounding communities.”
Kleinfelder will provide quality assurance sampling and testing services during construction, on-site laboratory testing services, and quality assurance field support at validated laboratories, both on and off-site.
“Kleinfelder is 100% committed to working closely with USACE to assure quality,” said Mark W. Connelly, Kleinfelder Area Manager and former Sacramento District Deputy Commander. “Each day, we strive to provide solutions that make a real difference.”
