Im down in Texas, all we have is clay down here. I’m assuming this core trench isn’t needed if the whole dam is made of clay? It just needs to be compacted well and call it good?

Is this core trench, usually this wide on your dams or was necessary due to the length of the dam?

[@bulletproofponds]

This core trench was this wide mostly because of the equipment that was filling it had to fit inside of the trench. Typically, the width of the core is = to 60% of the dam height.

@@bulletproofponds Certainly understand the trench width being constructed to accommodate the width of equipment. It appeared twice as wide as a dozer or packer. Not to be argumentative, just looking to understand. Your equation of 60% of the dam height is interesting. Nice finished product and a wider key way (Core Trench) must definitely appears as if it is beneficial and have its advantages. Working my way through your video's and thoroughly enjoying myself. Keep up the great work.

@@brucevogel2693 We’ve noticed our footage can at times have the effect of appearing differently on screen, especially concerning depths and widths, depending on the angles of the shot, etc. As an added note, the width here on this keyway, or core trench, was 18 feet wide. Your feedback is helpful and appreciated. We’re glad you’re here 👍 Stay curious 👀

If you got good clay and are down to good clay why a trench filled with more clay?

Hey there - Could you clarify your question a little more?
