- Aerial drone footage showing continued work on the Sanford Dam in Sanford, Michigan. Contractors are working diligently on the spillway area of the dam and also appears that they are working on what I assume will be the emergency spillway on the far side.
Unless plans have changed, the emergency spillway will be approximately where the river is currently re-routed. This new bay going in at the opposite end of the spillways from the old powerhouse is either going to be a seventh spillway with a crest gate or perhaps a low level water outlet for passing flows in the winter. I thought they would be using the passageways in the powerhouse to do that, but seeing as they've completely filled in the tailrace with concrete they've either abandoned plans for a low level outlet or are going to incorporate one into a spillway. Really wish FLTF would post the final design on their web site to clear this up. The design posted before all the construction started has 8 spillway gates and a powerhouse that was half as long as the current building. But the building appears to be retaining it's current footprint so designs have changed at least somewhat since then.
It would be nice to see the plans !
Things have really ramped up here at Sanford Dam. Getting a 360° areial view puts the project in perspective. Looks like Legal Matters are gonna slow things down, it sounds like. Work here at Sanford will continue till end of year and then a "Full Stop", unless matters get resolved in Court. Secord Dam almost finished, but they too, shutting down shortly! Sounds like a mess with Property Owners vs Construction Costs! Sis and Hubby were up at their place at Secord Lake area (Tib River). Said locals not sure what's to come! Sad. Pontoon remains in the garage (Brand New-bought wk before catastrophe of dam systems. But, your areials are enjoyable to view from above. Thanks for your Time sharing!
Great video any chance you could go up to the new M30bridge being built and film any of that?
I was gonna run up there today, but I see Jordan Mowbray just posted a video of that project.
Thanks again for taking the time to post this video. Looks like a lot of work and rework going on.
