Vermont Business Magazine Kingsbury Companies was recently awarded the Surry Mountain Lake Service Gate Replacement Project in Surry, NH.
Surry Mountain Lake is an impoundment on the Ashuelot River in Surry, NH. It was built by the United States Army Corps of Engineers in 1941 to protect downstream communities, such as Keene from flooding. The height of the dam is 83 feet, its length is 1,800 feet at the crest, with a maximum capacity of 44,000 acre-feet and a normal capacity of 1,320 acre-feet.
The work for this project at the Surry Mountain Lake Dam includes the in-kind furnishment and installation of two new service gates to replace the original gates which were manufactured in 1939. These gates seal each of the service, and emergency bypass tunnels which are over 83 feet below the floor of the gatehouse and are used to control the level of the impoundment. They will need to be replaced one at a time to ensure that the dam is operational throughout construction.
