Big Cliff Dam
Contract Goes
To Shea Co.
4
Big Cliff dam diversion tunnel and
railroad re-location work contract
goes to the Shea Construction com­
pany, the Corps of Engineers revealed
this week.
Big Cliff dam, when constructed,
will regulate the flow of water of
the North Santiam river to keep a
constant flow in all seasons of the
year. The diversion tunnel for Big
Cliff is needed to divert the North
Santiam river around the site of the
dam during construction. Big Cliff
power plant is designed for 18,000
kilowatts.
Big Cliff dam diversion tunnel
must be complete 180 days after
work begins. Big Cliff is some 10
miles east of Mill City and three
miles downstream from the site of
the Detroit dam where concrete pour­
ing is in progress.
The Shea Construction company of
California submitted the low bid on
the diversion tunnel of $324,176. The
government estimate on this work
was $366,166.
The Shea company did the con­
struction work on the Detroit dam
diversion tunnel, under a subcontract
from Consolidated Builders Inc.
