His senior design team had analyzed the wooden and steel dams, and determined that they're much more stable than expected. Since the township took off the top 12 feet of wooden dam, it's not in any real danger of collapsing (at least until there's a 500-year flood event). Supposedly the steel dam could take the hit, too, except for that same 500-year flood.DChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12433176037815688789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3509149353007705957.post-69967939539092538122008-07-03T08:52:00.000-04:002008-07-03T08:52:00.000-04:00Man, I miss the old steel dam.
