Review of Design, Construction, and Operation of Pueblo Dam Project, Colorado
This study is an independent review of critical engineering data and documentation supplied by the Bureau of Reclamation. The purpose of this review was to determine if there are any apparent risks of serious distress or failure in filling the reservoir or project operation. Recommendations were made as to suggested prudent actions that should be accomplished to provide additional verification of project safety. On the basis of available information, it is concluded that the reservoir behind Pueblo Dam should not be permitted to rise above its present level until certain supplementary investigations and/or actions have been completed. A principal concern relates to the stability and performance of the earthfill embankments. Also, although the design and construction of the central concrete structure (massive-head buttresses) appear to have been executed adequately, its performance may be less favorable than expected.
