Civil/Municipal: Dams - Example Projects

Lake Mohawk Country Club- Main Lake Dam Management

​CP Engineers is providing dam management services on the Lake Mohawk Dam, which is a Class I earthen embankment with timber and a vinyl sheet piling retaining wall.  The dam is 580 feet long, up to 20 feet high, and impounds 777 acre Lake Mohawk. CPE has most recently performed the required Regular Inspection of the Lake Mohawk Dam, as well as provided the LMCC with an updated Operation & Maintenance Manual and Emergency Action Plan.  CPE is also designing and managing a dredging project to remove sediment from the lake in the vicinity of storm drain discharges.

Scenic Lakes Community Association - Dam Rehabilitation

​CP Engineers was initially retained by SLCA to provide bidding and construction administration and inspection services for the downstream slope stabilization of the earthen dam which impounds Scenic Lake. While the lake was being lowered to facilitate those repairs, a partial collapse occurred on the upstream slope of the dam.  CPE conducted hydrogeological and geotechnical investigations to determine the cause of the collapse, and designed remedial measures which were approved by NJDEP.  CPE also designed required improvements to the spillway structure on the dam, provided construction administration and inspection services for these additional projects mandated by NJDEP, and drafted an Operation & Maintenance Manual for SLCA.  These actions allowed the refilling of the lake during the summer of 2017 and the resumption of the SLCA community’s recreational uses of this resource.

Lake Mohawk Country Club - Upper Lake Dam Management

​CP Engineers is providing dam management for the Upper Lake Mohawk Dam, which is a Class I earthen embankment with concrete and metal sheeting core wall, a vinyl sheet cutoff wall, a 78 foot long concrete weir spillway and a low level outlet structure.  The dam is 575 feet long, up to 20.7 feet high, and impounds 18 acre Upper Lake Mohawk. CPE has most recently performed the required Regular Inspection of the Upper Lake Mohawk Dam, as well as provided the LMCC with an updated Operation & Maintenance Manual and Emergency Action Plan.
