Fisher Industries / General SteelDickinson, NDThe Oahe Dam is the second largest dam on the Missouri River, and the 14th largest earth fill dam on the planet. In comparison, it contains more than twice the fill material as the Aswan High Dam on the Nile River. Lake Oahe extends for 231 miles up river towards Bismarck, North Dakota, and has 2,250 miles of shoreline.Construction of the dam was authorized in 1944 by an act of Congress. The US Army Corps of Engineers began work on the project in 1948. Early work included the relocation of towns, bridges, and roads that would eventually be flooded out. The dam was closed in 1958 and completed in 1961, and the reservoir was full for the first time in 1962. The power plant was completed in 1963. President John F. Kennedy attended the dam dedication ceremony on August 17, 1962.

| The US Army Corps of Engineers selected Weather All Roofing of Pierre, SD for the Foam Restoration and reroofing of the massive Hydroelectric power plant. The power plant has 14 large tanks on the roof in two rows of 7. These are surge tanks, which act as buffers to smooth out the flow of water from the intakes. The 7 turbines that produce a total of 112-megawatts of electrical power. The project started by repairing thousands of small blisters in the existing foam and coating. Weather All Roofing removed all the deteriorated areas. Also the removal of the current asphalt roofs that covered the 14 large tanks sitting over 250 feet off the ground. The 14 roofs were rebuilt and new metal was placed over deteriorated areas and sealed in with ERSystems 2.7# Spray Polyurethane Foam. The entire Oahe Dam roof was pressure washed at 3000psi removing any dirt or debris that had accumulated over the years. |

After the roof had been deemed watertight a base coat of ERSystems Eragaurd 1000 and a finish coat of ERSystems ERaguard 1000 was spray applied over the entire roof area. This highly reflective Energy Star certified product provides maximum performance keeping the building cooler, dry, and running more efficiently. |
