HUNTINGTON, W.Va.
A Pennsylvania company has received a $36 million contract to repair Bluestone Dam.
The construction is part of a project to stabilize and strengthen the dam, which went into operation in 1949.
Brayman Construction Company of Saxonburg, Pa., will install 54 anchors in the dam's spillway and east abutment areas to help strengthen and stabilize the structure. Brayman also will build a work platform along the dam's western downstream face.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers plans to install 600 anchors to increase the dam's stability.
