Schnabel Engineering’s Post

Several members of the Schnabel team attended Virginia’s Dam Safety Awareness Day event at Lake Louisa Dam on May 11, hosted by the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation (VA DCR). Part of a national effort to encourage individual and community responsibility for safeguarding dams, the event highlighted the importance of maintaining resilient infrastructure and recognized the recently completed spillway rehabilitation project at Lake Louisa Dam. The site was selected because the project serves as an example of successful collaboration between state officials and dam owners. Schnabel Engineering was selected to manage the project from design through construction, supporting the replacement of the aging spillway to improve long-term safety for the Blue Ridge Shores community and downstream areas. Attendees heard remarks from state officials, including Deputy Secretary of Natural and Historic Resources Adrienne Kotula and DCR Chief Engineer Andrea Henry, and the project owner, the Blue Ridge Property Owners Association, followed by a tour of the dam and completed project site. We’re proud to support projects that help strengthen infrastructure resilience and protect communities across Virginia and beyond. Read more about the event here: https://lnkd.in/eX-MEnPc
