Chimney Hollow Reservoir Project Gets Fully Underway

Crews from Barnard Construction Co. Inc. and its subcontractors are working 11 hours a day, six days a week, now that the Notice to Proceed has been given for construction of Chimney Hollow Reservoir in southern Larimer County. 

Since the ceremonial groundbreaking at the site on Aug. 6, crews have worked to transform the site into one where a 350-foot-tall dam will be built. Tasks such as assembling necessary equipment, placement of security systems and building haul roads for quarried rock will be critical for the future construction of the project. 

About 70 workers are at the site now, but that will increase as work continues on the main dam, the saddle dam to the south and other infrastructure at the site.
