The largest concrete pour to date at the Red Rock Hydroelectric Project construction site is expected to take place during this week.

This is the first concrete placement that will outline the footprint of the intake structure on the dam’s upstream side. Missouri River Energy Services estimates that the pour will take a minimum of 20 hours to complete and–for the most part, will be conducted at night. During this large concrete placement, there will be more truck traffic in the area than usual, especially along Highway T-15, but the road will remain open. Travelers should expect delays and lane restrictions as crews work to get the concrete trucks in and out of the site. According to Missouri River Energy Services, the pour this week involves 200 truckloads or 2,000 cubic yards of concrete.
