Project: Dayton, Ohio - Great Miami River Utility Crossing

Installation Date: November 2001

	A utility crossing was needed before a bridge could be replaced for the City of Dayton. The contractor immediately called FAS-DAM Systems®. We sent a crew to look at the site with the contractor and designed a system to give the best protection for the project. A 12-foot FAS-DAM Systems® was installed. This cost-effective system allowed the Contractor to quickly span the more than 600 feet of river.
	The customer had planned to cross this in low flow but the area was under heavy rainfall. This was not a problem for the FAS-DAM Systems®. Even though water reached over 14 feet in depth and floating debris stacked up, pushing against the system, it remained in place, allowing the contractor to finish the job on time. This system, opposed to driven sheet piling, eliminates the need for pile driving equipment and cross-bracing, which keeps the project moving much quicker than conventional systems..
	This project required compliance with Federal Water Quality Standards and local governments, as do most difficult jobs. The Great Miami runs right through the heart of Dayton. All water issues were met and exceeded.
