Appendix B—Case HistoriesProject name: Round Rock DamLocation: ArizonaSummary: Sliplining of an existing outlet works conduit using HDPEConstructed in 1937 and enlarged in 1953, Round Rock Dam is a 35-foot highembankment dam, located about 3 miles from the town of Round Rock, Arizona onthe Navajo Reservation. The original outlet works at Round Rock Dam wasconstructed by cut and cover methods. Both the upstream and downstream outletworks conduits were constructed of 24-inch diameter CMP. Reservoir releases arecontrolled by a 24-inch diameter slide gate in a concrete wet well located about15 feet upstream of the dam crest. In 1991, the Bureau of Reclamation’s DeficiencyVerification Analysis identified the structural integrity of the outlet works conduits asa dam safety deficiency. CCTV inspection had detected corroded portions and jointseparations in the CMP.Reclamation designed a modification, to address this dam safety deficiency, whichconsisted of an 18-inch O.D. HDPE pipe that was sliplined (figures B-68 and B-69)and then grouted into both the upstream and downstream CMP conduits. TheHDPE pipe was designed to withstand external loads, disregarding any additionalFigure B-68.—Heat fusion of an HDPE pipe joint.B-89
