Cut-off wall work on the Herbert Hoover Dike

Once-in-a-century project on Lake Okeechobee

Covering a total area of 1,890 km², Lake Okeechobee is the largest freshwater lake in the U.S. state of Florida. Since the early 2000s, the 225 km long Herbert Hoover Dike around the lake is being restored gradually. The experts from Bauer Spezialtiefbau were first engaged in 2007 to install Cutter Soil Mixing (CSM) cut-off walls. Based on this successful cooperation, further contracts were awarded for the years between 2011 and 2022. In the period from 2020 to 2022 alone, roughly 380,000 m² of cut-off wall were installed in three partial sections: this corresponds to 28 km of the total 45 km on the southwestern section of the Herbert Hoover Dike. A once-in-a-century project and a success story for Bauer Spezialtiefbau.
