In 2018, North Georgia Concrete completed the largest infrastructure project for the city of Peachtree City, GA, in history. This capstone project included the first piano-key weir ever built in the U.S., as well as the first multi-staged piano-key weir in the world.
Our overflow structure replaced a 50-year-old existing spillway which was found to have structural voids, potentially endangering downstream homes and businesses. Though the project was intended as an infrastructure repair project, our work became a landmark for function and aesthetics, winning multiple state, national, and international awards for design and construction.
Today the $4 million spillway is capable of passing 100,000 gallons of water per second. The entire structure weighs an estimated 15 million pounds, and the project required 22,000 cubic yards of earthwork, 3,840 cubic yards of concrete, and 420 tons of steel to build.
