Dam Trashrack Cleaning Project
May 2015. Pictures Presented below. The Trash Racks were
cleaned out and part of the project included installation of a debris
boom
A Huge Thanks to i90 Enterprises LLC !
i90 Enterprises allowed us to deliver the booms to their location as they have a forklift for unloading.
i90 went one step further by delivering the booms to the dam on the day of installation.
That was a huge help which was very much appreciated. Thank You i90 !
