California's Department of Water Resources is doing some nice update videos on the progress at the Lake Oroville Spillway. The aging 770-foot Oroville Dam, the tallest dam in the U.S., was damaged in February when California experienced record rain.
In June, the project's contractor Kiewit Infrastructure West, adjusted its 10-hour workshifts to accomodate a different environmental challenge - heat. Shifts now start at 5am and at 8pm to avoid crews working during the hottest part of the day.
