- Morgan Corp. delivers rapid, specialized response to strengthen vulnerable water systems when projects can’t wait.
Case Study
Emergency Response: Lake Lure Dam SafetyAt Lake Lure, Morgan Corp. helped strengthen dam safety through the installation of a new reservoir drain system designed to provide enhanced emergency drawdown capabilities at the town’s high-hazard multiple arch-buttress dam.
Delivered in collaboration with the engineer, the project required a highly technical approach, including access road construction, sewer relocation, excavation, dewatering, rock removal, selective demolition, and the construction of a reinforced mass concrete encasement to support the new drain system.
Despite localized flooding and debris impacts from Hurricane Helene near project completion, the team successfully installed and commissioned the new reservoir drain, providing the Town of Lake Lure with enhanced emergency response capabilities and a stronger foundation for long-term dam safety.
