The Morris Dam spillway project involved the careful demolition of the existing spillway structure, which had deteriorated due to decades of wear, environmental exposure, and seismic concerns. The goal was to replace it with a modern, reinforced spillway designed to improve hydraulic performance, withstand extreme weather events, and ensure compliance with stringent dam safety regulations set by the California Department of Water Resources Division of Safety of Dams (DSOD).

Mike Bubalo Construction was contracted for their expertise in complex demolition and heavy civil engineering projects, particularly those involving water infrastructure. The project demanded precision, adherence to environmental regulations, and coordination with multiple stakeholders, including the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works and regulatory agencies.
