Abstract/Additional Information

To overcome site constraints and to meet a tight timeline for completing its new Hickory Log Creek Dam, the Cobb County-Marietta Water Authority and the city of Canton, Ga., chose to build a roller-compacted-concrete structure. Construction of the dam, completed in November 2007, taught several valuable lessons about the use of RCC.
