(Phoenix, Ariz.) Gannett Fleming, an international planning, design,
and construction management firm, has been contracted by the Wyoming
Water Development Commission to complete conceptual
design studies for five water supply dam projects. Gannett Fleming will serve as
the prime consultant for two of the projects, and provide geotechnical
and dam design services under subcontracts on three additional projects.
The firm’s Fort Collins/Windsor office, in collaboration with
the Phoenix office, will perform these studies. All five projects
will include development, evaluation, and conceptual design of dam
and storage alternatives for irrigation and municipal water supplies
in various locations throughout Wyoming.
Gannett Fleming will serve as the prime consultant for the Viva
Naughton Enlargement project located in the Hams Fork drainage in
southwestern Wyoming. This project will advance geotechnical and
environmental studies, as well as conceptual designs of alternatives
to provide additional water supplies in the area. Alternatives to
be studied include the enlargement of the existing Viva Naughton
Dam and construction of a new, off-stream dam and reservoir at one
of two identified sites.
Gannett Fleming will also serve as the prime consultant for the
Bridger Valley Reservoir project in southwestern Wyoming. This project
will investigate current and future municipal water needs in the
Bridger Valley area, multiple use, and cost-sharing opportunities
for a new storage reservoir. The study will also consider alternatives
to store winter releases from the Stateline Dam, to make water available
for use in the summer and fall when stream flows are low.
Gannett Fleming will provide services under subcontracts for three
additional projects, including: geologic and geotechnical studies
for re-regulating reservoirs on two major irrigation canals near
Riverton, Wyo.; reconnaissance-level evaluation to support irrigation
system upgrades near Wheatland, Wyo.; and conceptual design of a
1,500 acre-foot storage reservoir to supplement water supply for
a water treatment plant that supplies water to the towns of Rawlins
and Sinclair, Wyo.
