Less than a week after leaks were found in a cofferdam at Folsom Lake, the structure could be coming down soon.<\/p>\n
The cofferdam was designed to keep crews dry while they worked on the auxiliary spillway for the Folsom Dam. It wasn\u2019t supposed to come down for another two weeks, but after the leak, the Army Corps of Engineers says it just makes sense to move up the date.<\/p>\n
Every move is being calculated, and every piece of equipment and staff is mapped out and assigned before moving ahead in the $900 million Folsom spillway project.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt could happen as early as tomorrow, we could still be a couple more days,\u201d spokesman Rick Brown said.<\/p>\n
The engineers are waiting for daylight and more discernment. If the cofferdam is removed, it would mark a turning point for the project.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe contractors already have those plans in place that they can operate as they say \u2018in the wet\u2019 so any further excavation they can get in there and use the proper equipment with no problems,\u201d Brown said.<\/p>\n
