A Peterson History Connected to the Oroville Dam
Peterson opened for business in Chico in July 1958 to support construction of the Oroville Dam. The project used a number of custom-built machines, including Quad D9s, a special dual 631 compactor, and customized 100-ton Athey bottom dumps. These machines were designed and patented by Buster Peterson to meet the demands of one of California's largest earthmoving projects.
That legacy of problem-solving continues today. Custom design and fabrication are still available through Peterson's San Leandro, California and Hillsboro, Oregon headquarters.
Supporting the Oroville Dam Spillway Recovery
In February 2017, the Oroville Dam emergency spillway was used for the first time. After the hillside sustained major erosion, crews placed temporary rock and riprap as an emergency measure. Once the immediate crisis passed, Kiewit removed the temporary repairs and excavated down to bedrock as part of the recovery project.
Peterson supported the project with machine control guidance systems and project management tools that helped Kiewit work quickly and accurately under tight deadlines. In the planning stages, Kiewit used specialized software to digitize original 1960s plans from the California Department of Water Resources and compare them with current drone data from the site.
Chris Mata, Peterson's machine control sales representative, explained the impact of the technology: "A project of this magnitude would take three to four grade-setters multiple days to complete an as-built topographic map of the surface. But Kiewit's drone allowed one person to do it in 30 minutes and provided real-time volume quantities and progress updates for managing the site."
Trimble machine control technology is still available through SITECH NorCal.
Power Generation Support for Major Projects
Peterson also supported the Oroville Dam work with generators. The site operated like a small city roughly 30 miles from Chico, requiring temporary power for offices, air conditioning, computers, light towers, batch plants, pneumatic tools, and other critical jobsite needs.
Electric power generation and temperature control solutions are still available through Peterson Power Systems.
