23-Jul-05Some notes on McAlpine Dam and its predecessors, based mainly on Chapters 10, 11 and 14 of The Falls City Engineers, by Leland R. Johnson (PDF format), one of many Corps of Engineers publications available.
The original timber-crib dam at the Falls of the Ohio was completed in 1881 and modified in later years. This dam was replaced about 1910 by a dam which raised the surface of the river to 412 feet above sea level, thus providing a minimum navigation depth of 9 feet from Louisville up to Madison, Ind., where it was expected that another dam would be built. (The Ohio River Canalization Project, authorized by Congress in 1910 and completed in 1929, provided for the construction of 54 dams which together would ensure a year-round 9 foot minimum depth along the whole length of the Ohio River.) The 1910 dam was a combination of Boule dam, Chanoine wickets and masonry weirs.
See diagrams of various types of movable dams from chapter 7 of Engineering and Design - Monograph Prepared by M. Petersen on Inland Navigation and Canalization (PDF format).In 1920, it was decided to raise the pool above the dam an additional 8 feet to 420 feet above sea level (equivalent to 12 feet on the upper gauge). This would eliminate the need to build the Madison dam as well as provide sufficient height ("head") to power a hydroelectric plant. The new dam (Dam No. 41) and hydro plant (or powerhouse) were built between 1925 and 1927; Lock No. 41 had already opened in 1921 next to an existing smaller lock at the lower end of the Portland Canal. Dam No. 41 consisted of fixed weir, Boule dam, a Chanoine wicket navigable pass and two "bear traps" (to allow the release of small amounts of water, and perhaps useful in flushing debris accumulated above the hydro plant). During high water, boats could travel through the navigable pass, under the Pennsylvania Railroad Bridge and down through the Falls, thus eliminating the slow trip through the canal and lock.
See a 1934 chart of Locks and Dam No. 41 and two photos showing the dangerous work of raising or lowering Boule dam (from chapter 14 of The Falls City Engineers, by Leland R. Johnson)): Looking SE toward the Pennsylvania Railroad Bridge at Dam No. 41 and probably looking W from the Pennsylvania Railroad Bridge at Dam No. 41.Between 1961 and 1964, Dam No. 41 was replaced by another dam with the same elongated "Z" shape but with no navigable pass. This dam consists of fixed concrete weir and 9 tainter gates in two groups (5 upper gates and 4 lower gates). The Boule and Chanoine sections of Lock No. 41 were left in upright position and embedded within the concrete of the new dam, which is named McAlpine Dam in honor of William H. McAlpine, Principal Assistant Engineer of the Louisville District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 1912-1930, and an expert on lock and dam design and construction.
