Dog River Dam & Reservoir Expansion – Douglasville, GA

Ámbito de Trabajo:

• AIS Infrastructure is delivering the Dog River Dam and Reservoir Expansion, a large-scale water infrastructure project that will significantly increase water capacity and long-term supply for the Douglasville community. This $177M+ project, executed in partnership with the Douglasville Water & Sewer Authority, will expand the reservoir from 1.5 billion to 6.5 billion gallons and raise the dam by more than 35 feet.
• The project involves extensive site development and heavy civil construction, including clearing over 120 acres of land, large-scale earthwork, and construction of multiple earthen embankments reaching up to 110 feet in height. Key components include a new 200-foot-wide reinforced concrete spillway with a labyrinth weir, a highway-rated bridge, roller compacted concrete gravity structures, and installation of advanced drainage and instrumentation systems.
• AIS Infrastructure is managing complex construction operations involving significant rock excavation, blasting, and placement of nearly 2 million cubic yards of embankment material. The team is also executing specialized foundation work, including cutoff walls, grout curtains, and soil stabilization, ensuring long-term structural integrity and performance.
• This project highlights AIS Infrastructure’s expertise in large-scale dam construction, water resource management, and complex earthwork operations. Once complete, the expanded reservoir will play a critical role in supporting regional growth, improving water reliability, and strengthening infrastructure resilience for decades to come.
