The San Vicente Dam Hydrodemolition

The San Vicente Dam Raise is part of the Emergency Storage Project, a system of reservoirs, interconnected pipelines, and pumping stations designed to make water available to the San Diego region in the event of an interruption in imported water deliveries.

San Vicente Dam currently stands at 220 feet and can store up to 90,000 acre-feet of water. The dam raise project will increase the height of the dam by 117 feet the tallest dam raise in the United States and the tallest of its type in the world. The raised dam will store an additional 152,000 acre-feet of water, more than doubling the capacity of the reservoir.

American Hydro is currently performing Hydrodemolition to prepare the surface for the dam raise. Contractors are blasting at the San Vicente site almost daily to excavate new roads and the foundations for the dam raise.
