French Dam Technology Passes the Test
The "French Dam" is a technology developed and patented by the French Development Enterprises (FDE), LLC, North Billerica, MA, for construction of small- to medium-sized hydroelectric and water control systems. Designed for new or retrofit projects, the system is based on modular segments manufactured off-site in a controlled environment. After delivery to a dam site, modules will be secured to the riverbed using underpinning (for example, soil nails or rock anchors) and interconnected with adjacent modules to complete a dam. The scalable technology provides high-quality dams but requires minimal construction time and site work. Installation is weather-independent, so project risk is minimized. The French Dam technology was developed through funding provided by the US Department of Energy (US DOE) to advance the manufacturing and installation of hydroelectric facilities with low environmental impact. Additional support came from the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MassCEC), Boston, MA.
