Ozark Powerhouse Rehabilitation Program

The Ozark-Jeta Taylor Lock and Dam and Ozark Powerhouse are located 1-mile southeast of Ozark, Arkansas on the Arkansas River. The electricity produced at the Ozark Powerhouse is sold to customers in Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas. The Ozark Powerhouse has been unique since it was constructed because it was the first slant-shaft turbine powerhouse built by the Army Corps of Engineers. Webbers Falls, located upstream from Ozark on the Arkansas River, and Truman in Missouri, are the only other large, slant-axis installations in the Corps.

The Rehabilitation Project is a $77 million initiative which will improve the efficiency to the Five Unit/100 megawatt hydropower facility. The Project started in 2005 and was scheduled for completion in 2012.

The Army Corps of Engineers hired MOCA in 2009 to help with management of the project. MOCA has been providing project control and claims management services to improve the performance of financial and schedule goals. The MOCA team is continuing to support the project to assure alignment with financial and scheduling objectives.
