The Mathis Dam Spillway project highlights Alden’s integrated hydraulic and structural engineering services in which there was close collaboration between hydraulic modeling, hydraulic design, and structural design experts.
Alden used numerical modeling and physical modeling to evaluate the discharge capacity and pressure distribution on the surface of the Mathis Dam spillway, and as a result, Alden developed a spillway shape modification that eliminated the negative pressures on the spillway. These spillway modifications were designed and detailed and approved by FERC in May 2018.
