Damage to the rip-rap protection on the upstream face of Megget Dam has occurred since first filling in 1983 and independent wind-wave investigations have demonstrated that waves exceeded anticipated wave heights. Value Planning Studies for alternative schemes to upgrade the rip-rap protection indicated that bituminous grouting was the preferred option and its satisfactory performance was proved by site trials during May 1997. The bituminous grouting works were carried out in two stages with a break over the winter season. The upper part of the face was completed over a 12 week period (September to early November 1997) and the grouting works for the remaining area was completed over a 24 week period (mid April to early October 1998).
