Oroville Dam's Recently Reconstructed Main Spillway Fundamentally Flawed ... Quoting: Deplorable bluecandle well, then, if the Main Spillway is fine, then they won't need the Emergency Spillway. You mean the main waterfall carving a gorge ever higher and higher up the slope? Those two areas dug out on either side by the rampaging water could be the weakest link. If the carving goes up towards the lake, the water pressure from the lake could move the earth in a hurry with the lake water following right behind. Once the slightest breach occurs, it'll quickly become massive, thereby allowing the lake to gush down into the valley. Yes. The side of the emergency spillway has huge washouts. My guess is that there is no way this dam holds for another 2 days. Sending men in there to try to shore it up, somehow, is sending them to their death. Totally agree. Maybe it lasts longer than two days, but it could happen any minute as well. The water is relentlessly pounding the ground. So that water is traveling underground through osmosis weakening it as it goes with no end in sight. Total unmitigated disaster once it tips beyond the balance point. Yes, I did cure my Stage 4 cancer in two weeks when I was 48. I also reversed my chronic kidney disease (glomerulonephritis) when I was 25. In neither case were any medical treatments involved. |

Oroville Dam's Recently Reconstructed Main Spillway Fundamentally Flawed Before you all jump on the conspiracy wagon, let's talk about a few simple facts. Quoting: Switchback 74039853 A drought has affected the west for 10+ years. I'm sure the budget for dam maintenance / inspection was trimmed way back. The spillway likely needed a concrete grout patch through the expansion joints which probably wasn't in "the deficit budget". Sadly, it's when you need the spillway, you discover that the repair budget should of been approved, and the spillway repair has now grown to a tremendous amount of money. It is possible to drop loads of rock and "hot mix concrete" into the breech to prevent further erosion. . They can patch the spillway, but the size of the undercut will be a concern until late summer. Right now, they are in a catch 22. You release the water, it keeps chewing at the dam support, so you must stop the flow, throw everything you got into that hole, and throw hot mix concrete on top.then hope the support holds until summer. There is no choice, the spring runoff water is coming, it might be best to let it run over the top, while you repair that spillway. Im guessing there is a huge amount of helicopters and remote concrete plant equipment being built ASAP. They will drop massive amounts into that hole and then seal it with hot batch concrete. No other options. How would you like to be that contractor? Hell that dam could bust! I'd love to be on that job. ^^ this |

Oroville Dam's Recently Reconstructed Main Spillway Fundamentally Flawed This dam was doomed the moment the spillway was damaged. Quoting: Brown Chicken Brown Cow Now, it is just a matter of time. They know it, too. They initially had the main spillway running at a low flow rate and made the decision to use the emergency spillway. Did you notice how in a panic, they cranked the main spillway up so much, it lowered the lake? Why did they not do that in the first place? Because they know using the main spillway is going to erode the cliff towards the dam. So there will come a point where they will shut the main spillway when the erosion becomes critical. At that point, the lake will rise back to 901+ (look at the rain coming) and then water will once again flow over the emergency spillway, eroding that hill and then compromising the cement structure of the lip of the emergency spillway. Now, I would take that failure over the dam itself failing. There is a chance it could stop at the emergency spillway and just flow over. I guess that depends on the geology. They are taking the failure of the emergency spillway over the dam itself failing. Here are some pictures I posted about 50 pages ago. It shows how much erosion has actually happened. I can't see them running that spill way for 6 full days the current flow... Their fucked if they do.. and fucked if they don't... their fucked. [link to imgur.com (secure)] Scroll down to see the comparison. Sorry wasn't logged in. Use the telephone lines as a reference [link to imgur.com (secure)] This is proof that it's only a matter of time from the entire dam is compromised. When the equilibrium is no longer there, the earth at the top of the dam is likely to give way,. Once that starts, the water will hammer the breach like a mofo. Thar she blows. It could take a couple days or it could be happening this instance. Yes, I did cure my Stage 4 cancer in two weeks when I was 48. I also reversed my chronic kidney disease (glomerulonephritis) when I was 25. In neither case were any medical treatments involved. |

Oroville Dam's Recently Reconstructed Main Spillway Fundamentally Flawed I'm not so sure it's a good idea to display images of the giant undercut that's happening under that spillway. It will just freak people out. They may have asked the media to back off so they can fix it... As best they can. I suspect they will drop loads of rock by air, and then a massive amount of concrete which will cure in 1 hour. It's the size of the undercut that's got them concerned. The water entering that hole is washing out the back side support of the dam. Nobody can really know the size of that hole by now... They have to risk that, and fill the void with everything they have. That town is at risk until July. I'm not sure they will lift the evacuation until they get a peek at the size of the undercut into the dam support below the spillway. . |
