    CHJ Spillway Monolith Joint Sealant Statement of Work Draft 6 Sep 2024.pdf
    The Chief Joseph Upstream Monolith Joint Sealing project aims to significantly reduce leakage in the spillway drainage gallery by addressing two primary sources of water: joint drains and face drains. The approach involves sealing vertical contraction joints at specific spillway monoliths using hydrophilic waterstop cylinders, which will expand upon contact with water, creating a reliable seal. Additionally, divers will tackle open horizontal lifts on the upstream face of the dam by inserting oakum and applying an underwater epoxy sealant to stop water ingress. This work encompasses locations beyond the spillway, including replacing waterstops at upstream monolith joints. The overall effort focuses on preventing water intrusion into the dam structure, thereby enhancing stability and safety. The diver operation is estimated to cover approximately 700 lineal feet of cracks. The structured plan illustrates the project’s importance in maintaining the integrity of the Chief Joseph Dam through targeted repair and sealing efforts that adhere to federal safety standards for potable water environments.
