August 17, 2017

Sukut was listed as a low bidder on Rancho Santa Margarita Water District’s $82.4 million Trampas Canyon Dam and Reservoir project.  The project entails moving over 3.7 million cubic yards of material, construction of new inlet/outlet structures, a spillway, micro-tunneling, instrumentation, and a new Dam control building.  The estimated water storage capacity of the reservoir is around a 5,000-acre foot per year.  Sukut is scheduled to break ground on this project in mid-September and complete construction by mid-year 2019.

Dam and reservoir projects have been Sukut’s specialty since the 1980’s when the company performed work on Upper Oso, Portola, Fairmont, Franklin, and Red Mountain reservoirs.  Currently, Sukut is also collaborating with its joint venture partners, Dragados USA and Flatiron, on a 500 million dollar Calaveras Dam project located in Northern California.  Trampas Canyon Dam and Reservoir project fits in perfectly within Sukut’s portfolio and will highlight the team’s ability to seamlessly handle challenging and interesting projects while meeting deadlines and completing work under budget.  Sukut’s leadership team is thanking everyone involved in bringing this project in house and appreciates the opportunity that was provided to them by Rancho Santa Margarita Water District.
