Scope Of Work
WG Construction built a reinforced concrete water intake structure for the US Army Corps of Engineers’ renovation of the 1910 Embrey Dam in Fredericksburg, VA in 2008. In consultation with the prime contractor, WG Construction provided expertise and guidance in support of excavation solutions and constructed a twenty-three foot deep cast-in-place concrete wet well, associated cast-in-place intake structure, cast-in-place concrete valve vault, mechanical pumps and piping, structural steel, and miscellaneous metals. They were able to overcome the challenge of working in a limited excavation area and working right up against the tidal water of the Rappahannock River to complete the project.
