KCI was tasked with exploring the subsurface conditions of a potential dam sight in Barbados. This project involved the construction of a small earth embankment dam and impoundment to provide irrigation water for the proposed Apes Hill Golf Course development. The 24-foot high, 900-foot long dam embankment will be constructed with local clay deposits and a proposed capacity of 500 million gallons. Our geotechnical engineers produced contract documents, specifications and drawings depicting existing site conditions, dam construction, grading plans, sediment and erosion control plans, liner details and instrumentation. We are also providing construction phase services.
