Future engineers get chance of a lifetime visiting Gross Reservoir

March 2, 2023 - TAP - Civil engineering students from the University of Colorado Boulder are getting a unique opportunity during their senior year.

For their capstone project, the students are tasked with creating their own design of Denver Water’s Gross Reservoir Expansion Project, which involves raising the height of Gross Dam by 131 feet.

“It's an exciting opportunity to show students one of the premier water resource development projects happening not only in the West but in the United States,” said Jeff Martin, a former CU student and Denver Water’s program manager for the Gross Reservoir Expansion Project.
