Description
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is planning to host a Dam Safety Production Center - Huntington (DSPC-H) Industry Day. The event will be held virtually on July 22, 2026, and will include a presentation and open forum discussion. The purpose of the event is to provide information about the project and to allow potential contractors to ask questions and provide feedback. The project involves the replacement of the outlet works at the Arkabutla Dam in Mississippi, and the construction of a new control tower and stilling basin. The project is expected to take 6-10 years to complete, and will require the use of a variety of construction techniques and materials.
Key aspects of the project include:
• Replacement of the existing outlet works with a new outlet works
• Construction of a new control tower and stilling basin
• Use of a zoned cofferdam to facilitate construction
• Excavation of the existing dam embankment and construction of a new embankment

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is seeking feedback from potential contractors on the project, and is encouraging companies to attend the Industry Day event to learn more about the project and to provide input.
