In order to stop the <br />movement of the river away from the power plant, three rock spur dikes were <br />installed along the opposite bank. These spur dikes were designed to provide a <br />long-term benefit by re-directing the flow back toward the power plant thus <br />insuring the intake is kept clear of sediment. <br /> <br />Polaris Group designed an additional river training structure to create scouring <br />velocities in front of the intake. A 2-dimensional hydrodynamic model was <br />developed from the river bathymetry to test the effectiveness of the design. In <br />addition, the existing HEC-2 model was updated to determine the effect of the <br />modifications on the upstream flood stage. Polaris Group aided the client in <br />obtaining the required permits for the work. Construction drawings and <br />specifications were developed. To insure the structures were installed correctly, <br />Polaris Group assisted with the construction quality control. <br />
