RECOVERY--DESCRIPTION: The Nashville District U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) intends to issue an invitation for bid (IFB), W912P5-09-B-0016 for the shotcrete replacement of the Laurel Dam project located in Eastern Kentucky. The work to be performed involves rehabilitation of slope protection at the Laurel Dam project. The Laurel Dam site is located on the Laurel River, 2.3 miles above its confluence with the Cumberland River, 21 river miles west of Corbin Kentucky. It lies on the borders of Laurel and Whitley Counties. The existing gunnite slope protection was placed to protect a steep shale outcropping. It has deteriorated and needs to be removed and replaced with new fiber reinforced shotcrete. The work area is located along the right abutment of the dam, on the first bench above the powerhouse. The work involves demolition of a 200 foot long, by 20 foot high stretch of gunnite, scaling of the underlying shale, and application of fiber reinforced shotcrete over the newly exposed shale. The work includes scaling of the shale slope, to remove weathered and loose material, and installation of strip drains, for drainage of the slope behind the shotcrete.
