Boone Dam Rehabilitation Project

The Tennessee Valley Authority contracted ENC after a sinkhole, water seepage, and “internal erosion” conditions were discovered at the Boone Dam in East Tennessee.

The TVA was concerned with the sound and light pollution throughout the rehabilitation of the Boone Dam, as operations and pumping units were required to work twenty-four hours per day.

ENC designed and engineered a nearly 1,000-foot-long wall to withstand 120-mile-per-hour wind-loads for the dam.

The sound and light mitigation design for this project utilized ENC’s STC-25 panels on our K-Rail Mounted Temporary Sound Wall system with a height of 16 feet.

ENC provided installation supervision for the barrier, and it remains a successful, effective mitigation technique for the Boone Dam as refurbishments are in process.
