Oliphant Lake Dam Disaster Mitigation Project

pre-construction

The project seeks to mitigate the risk of failure of the Oliphant Lake Dam during seismic events that would result in flooding downstream. The Project will construct a new dam downstream of the existing dam and will be equipped with a new spillway and instrumentation/monitoring systems to better manage the reservoir levels and outflow volume from the dam. Additionally, the project will significantly reduce economic losses and disruptions in the community that would be created from a washing out of the TransCanada highway due to dam failure.
