Southland Awarded Two Gate Replacement Projects for the US Army Corps of Engineers Valued at $201 Million

GRAPEVINE, Texas, Oct. 20, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Southland Holdings, LLC (“Southland”) announced today that a subsidiary in its Transportation segment, American Bridge Company, has been awarded two gate replacement projects for the US Army Corps of Engineers:

  • Center Hill Dam Gate Replacement: $91 million gate replacement project on the Caney Fork River in Lancaster, Tennessee. This project includes installation of eight new spillway tainter gates and lifting machinery equipment required to operate the gates. The existing gates and lifting equipment have been in operation since the dam was originally constructed in 1948. The Center Hill Dam controls runoff from a drainage area of 2,174 square miles.
  • Wolf Creek Dam Gate Replacement: $110 million gate replacement project on Cumberland River in Jamestown, Kentucky. This project includes installation of ten new spillway tainter gates and lifting machinery equipment required to operate the gates. Wolf Creek Dam forms Lake Cumberland which is 101 miles long and has 1,255 miles of shoreline. The existing gates and equipment have been in use since the dam was built in 1952.

The replacement projects are expected to help ensure efficient release of pooling reservoirs for both lakes. These reservoir and control systems are vital for the Corps’ water resource, environmental, and flood risk mitigation programs.
