After more than 50 years in operation, Oregon’s John Day Lock and Dam—operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)—was in need of critical repairs. To ensure the safety of construction crews, who needed to traverse nearly 2,000 feet of galleries and maintain contact with a site office over a mile away, USACE and their construction partner, Emagineered Solutions, sought a reliable way to keep teams in touch.

With over 35 years of experience in underground communications, Tunnel Radio of America had just the solution. Their Ultracomm® system delivered 100% coverage across every square foot of the worksite.

“Tunnel Radio’s system was essential to safe performance of our project. We were able to stay in contact with our crews deep inside the dam and relay essential messages clearly and immediately.” —Grant Waring, CEO of Emagineered Solutions
