Located approximately 45 km east of Sudbury, Ontario is a manually operated water control structure that is over 100 years old, nearing the end of its lifecycle. To remedy this, the team is acting as constructor and building a new and remotely operated spillway which will exceed current dam safety requirements and will have the ability to manage a one in 100-year flood.
