Chimney Hollow Reservoir crews celebrated on site on Monday, Feb. 24, as the final two valves arrived from Germany. Workers will install the two valves inside the valve house by the end of March.

One of the highest priorities of project managers at Chimney Hollow is ensuring the new reservoir’s infrastructure is ready for anything – even if “anything” might happen only every 500 years.

The 2,000-long-foot tunnel that will bring water in and out of the reservoir is about 80 percent complete as of the end of February.

The team’s work allows operators to oversee and control various project mechanics such as pressure transfusers, flow meters and valve positions from our control center in Granby.

Women in Construction week, held the first week of March, celebrates and promotes the role of women in the construction industry.

Anderson said he “wears a lot of hats,” as his Chimney Hollow duties include accounting, human resources, safety, quality, scheduling, productions and more.

Despite the snow and drops in temperature, crews persist through winter weather conditions to remain on schedule to complete Chimney Hollow Reservoir this summer.

In the final stretch of construction, on-site experts provide updates on key project components, as well as what the next few months will bring.

The final component of the water conveyance system for Chimney Hollow Reservoir began late last year and is already more than halfway completed.
