Leon Hurse Dam Project in Texas

ongoing

Granite Construction has been awarded the Leon Hurse Dam project in Ladonia, Texas by Upper Trinity Regional Water District. The $160 million contract award is anticipated to be included in Granite’s second quarter backlog. The project is a component of the overall Lake Ralph Hall project which will be one of Texas’ newest lakes and one of the state’s biggest water projects in the last 30 years. The project will provide crucial water for an area whose population is projected to increase nearly fivefold in the next 50 years. Granite is responsible for building a new earthen dam, and pertinent structural, electrical, mechanical, and architectural facilities, anticipated to provide 45 million gallons per day of water for people in Collin, Denton, and Fannin counties as one of Texas’ newest dams.
