Dunes Reservoir Brighton, Colorado
The Dunes Reservoir is a 5,200 acre-foot project located northwest of Denver, Colorado.
The project includes one million cubic yards of earth dam construction, a concrete emergency
spillway, and a 48-inch diameter outlet pipe. Deere and Ault provided final design
services and construction engineering for the project.
Earthen dam construction activities, building upward from reservoir bottom.
The water storage reservoir will be owned by the Denver Water Board and South Adams County
Water and Sanitation District. Project challenges include coordination between embankment dam
construction and on-going mining activities, special design consideration and design amendments
during construction were required to use available on-site borrow materials for embankment dam
fill, and coordination to accommodate an existing large capacity canal running parallel to the
downstream toe of the dam.
Processing embankment fill near dam crest with riprap in place.
