Abstract:

To compensate for the Detroit Dam site (non-uniform slope), the standard catch fence design was modified in three ways: rock bolts anchored the fence posts where jack hammering a standard 3-foot hole would have been too costly and difficult; a triple twist (Gabion [TM] type) wire mesh was used for the screen instead of chain link fencing; and the screen length was as long as 50 feet (instead of a standard 15 feet) because the top of the catch fence was located at a break in the slope. All modification proved quite successful on this project.
