Award Description: Tuttle Creek Dam was constructed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (?USACE?) on the Big Blue River in north-east Kansas in 1930's. The dam is located in a seismic area. The USACE develop the final design for the seismic retrofit of the dam. The USACE decided to use slurry wall technology to build 351 self-hardening cement-bentonite walls at the downstrem toe of the dam. The walls are 45 ft long, 4 ft wide and 70 ft deep, and are located perpendicular to the axis of the dam.
