Cianbro Restores Century-old Dam Canal
In August 2025, Cianbro's Industrial & Manufacturing(IDM) market was awarded a project for the repair of existing dam canal walls andheadgate piers for Lockhart Power Company. Lockhart Power is a small regionalelectrical utility owned by Greenville, South Carolina, investment firm PacoletMilliken. Pacolet Milliken was spun out of Milliken& Company in December 2007 by Roger Milliken, then Chairman of Milliken &Company. Pacolet was initially capitalized with excess capital, Lockhart PowerCompany, a regulated electric utility, and 30,000 acres of diverse landholdings.
During the 1980's, RogerMilliken developed a laser-like focus on quality as Milliken & Company's foundation earning him numerousnational and international awards. Thisfocus on quality was adopted and embraced by Lockhart Power. Today, building a strong relationshipwith Lockhart Power is a key part of IDM's strategy to diversify ourhydroelectric customer base across the southeast.
The power canal's final modifications were made from 1918 to1920, when the hydroelectric power plant was built. Since then, minimal modificationshave been made to the dam and power canal masonry structures. Because of erosion,structural materials required repair and reinforcement. The project started inSeptember with 32-year Cianbro veteran Chuck Brower leading the team asproject superintendent.
