Large Core Drills Aid Construction at Chickamauga Dam
The use of large core drills for the purpose of investigating foundations, and for supplementing and verifying the information obtained with small borings, is becoming increasingly common in conjunction with the construction of heavy hydraulic structures. However, the use of these large drills as a direct means of furthering the ends of construction is somewhat unusual, and this paper contains a description of the methods that were successfully used, under difficult working conditions, to obtain a foundation for the upper guard wall of the Chickamauga (Tenn.) Project navigation lock. The equipment and its operation are described in detail, and cost and progress information is included.
