Zach Remus plays an integral role in the construction of Chimney Hollow Reservoir as one of Barnard Construction’s Concrete Superintendents. He spends his days overseeing the concrete batch plant, which will generate more than 35,000 cubic yards of concrete throughout construction at areas including the main dam, saddle dam and tunnel. As the first in and last out, Remus spends the majority of his time coordinating with crews. 

Before beginning on the Chimney Hollow project in July 2021, Remus worked on several other dam projects for Barnard. His past experiences working on complex dams has readied him for the work that he is now doing at Chimney Hollow, which is the only dam project of its size currently under construction in the United States.  

“All scopes of work are involved in the success of Chimney Hollow, which requires me and other superintendents to always think ahead,” he said. “This project is complex, which keeps me on my toes, but it is unlike any other opportunity.”
