Project Details

The project included the repair/rehabilitation of five dam structures in throughout Camden County to address comments received during the 2015 annual dam inspections, field reconnaissance, and collaboration with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection’s (NJDEP) Division of Dam Safety & Flood Control.

Project Uniqueness/Challenges:

Design, documentation, and engineers estimate was accelerated so the project could be advertised for construction two months after receiving Notice to Proceed.
Extensive coordination with NJDEP’s Dam Safety & Flood Control group was necessary in order to obtain “buy-in” and project.

All work products from Keller were outstanding and well prepared. All reports were timely and accurate, making it much easier for project close-out in the design phase. Keller office staff also submitted required documents timely and without error. Keller’s full understanding of the project’s requirements made our work as a municipal department much easier. The City of Camden looks forward to engaging with Keller on future projects and would endorse them for other firms and clients to work with them. Dr. Edward C.
