- Опубліковано 10 січ 2024
- Chimney Hollow Reservoir construction crews wrapped up the 2023 construction season with about 55 percent of the project completed, and remain within about a month of their originally targeted completion deadline of late summer of 2025. In this video, Northern Water and Barnard Construction managers highlight how the main dam has reached 160 feet tall (of its ultimate height of 350 feet) and provide updates on several other elements of the project.

I truly enjoy these video updates that you guys put out for the public to see. I was born in Loveland Colorado in 1965 and raised in the mountains at The Moffat Tunnel East Portal. Was my first construction job at 18yrs old doing the Reventalation for tunnel. Did construction from then on until I was unable to due to my knees and other body parts telling me to back off lol. Sure do wish I was able to take part in this project. I can drive haul trucks and operate many types of equipment. Any how great job u all do. Can not wait to see finished project.
Thank you for the kind words!
You sound like me I was born in 1965 and grew up in Loveland and I drive truck and my knees are bad😂
Keep up the hard work and awesome job so far!
Very informative. We can’t wait to see and use it in August ‘25!
Dams are crucial, well done
Damn, that project looks like fun !
Amazing!
Everyone working on this can look at it for the rest of their lives and say they were part of it. That is pretty cool
It's about time the U.S. is actually building real true infrastructure
Thank you Joe Biden. 2024 ❤
@@cptbuiltk7944 I wouldn't go that far
Asphalt core. Fascinating. Is that a common thing?
Good content. The Trades! Stay safe. It is a band aid not a solution. Water wins.
As an outsider, has California asked, or demanded, some of that water?
The Colorado River Compact and Law of the River guide use of the water used by the seven states in the Colorado River Basin. This project is guided by those policies
They don't want water but they will tax it...
Where's the permeable pond guy?
What was that roller thing at the start called?
Roller float
@@rblueroan2205 Thanks
dam
Facts
There goes the Colorado River.
Set the California cater
What ever you say or opinion ,Mother Nature will have the last word.
Thanks to the magic of hydrocarbon fuels which makes these things possible!
Work is required, it needn't be petroleum based.
Renewables are not sustainable for some projects.
@@johnwalker8417 what ? You gonna build the dam with hemp ?
Thanks to the pollution of hydrocarbon fuels, causing climate change and the subsequent water shortages, we need to use more hydrocarbon fuels to ensure that there's enough water to drink and of course, so that people can water their lawns to impress their neighbours, cos hey, that's what's important right?
@@cpcattinno silly you burn the hemp. to fire the lime and fuel the equipment.
In a few years Colorado will tear down this dam because of some minnow, bug or worm...
More harm done to the wildlife no doubt more limitation of fish breeding grounds
Cheer up.
Yeah, a canyon with no substantial water flowing through it will be damaged by introducing a lake. You have no idea what this project is about.
Textbook example of an uninformed comment from an uninformed commenter. Their agenda drives their viewpoint instead of facts.
@@eva905 It's an additional reservoir to expand the storage capacity collected in the Windy River Reservoir so less water continues down the Colorado River. That normally wouldn't be an issue, but the Colorado River System is in dire straits due to too much water being siphoned off already.
Yes, this project makes the Colorado River's water problem worse and yes it negatively impacts fish populations considering the Colorado River often fails to make it to the ocean and removing even more water from the system exacerbates this issue.
@@brandonk9706 It's not our fault California refuses to store their water
It over thought to complicated it junk not impressive depressing
Huh ?
Lol. Typical left BS
@@cpcattin Wumao. CCP paid Chinese propagandist. They get paid to promote China on the internet and attack America.
really nice video - but i didn´t see any women pouring concrete 🤣🤣
Sad destruction to those beautiful hills. Displaying the greed of man.
Idiot. The construction is in the valleys.
Oh well. Try and get over it
@@alanbiancardi2531I guess if you live in Colorado you better quit drinking water and taking baths
I take it you don't use water?
