For the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers the Kings River turbine bypass project was an important element in the overall Kings River effort to improve fishery habitat. Equally important, the turbine bypass aspect of this project permits the release of water through penstocks at times when the power plant is not running to better manage temperatures in the river fishery below the dam.

To complete this essential project for the U.S Army Corps of Engineers and the Kings River Conservancy District, Syblon Reid performed the civil works construction consisting of 2,500 cubic yards of excavation, major concrete demolition, 11 and 13 foot diameter bores through the concrete spray wall, and pouring 1,200 cubic yards of concrete for the bypass lines and valve foundations.
