Project Brief

The Medard Reservoir Dam is a 7,000 foot long, 35 foot high, earth-filled embankment located in eastern Hillsborough County, Florida. The reservoir has a surface area of approximately 740 acres and a storage capacity of over 13,000 acre-feet. Due to downstream development, the dam is classified as "high hazard."

Kisinger Campo & Associates Corp. provided professional engineering services to develop a rehabilitation plan for the Medard Reservoir Dam as part of a continuing contract for miscellaneous engineering and inspections services with the Southwest Florida Water Management District. Specific services provided by KCA included the review of existing plans, reports, and other pertinent correspondence; visual inspection of intake and outfall structures, levee slope protection, gates, drains, pipes, and culverts; geotechnical investigation; toe and relief drain video inspections; and design alternatives for rehabilitation. This work was part of a multi-phased rehabilitation effort.
