The article discussed “building an angled flip just above the collapse site”, not at the end of the spillway.
on the ground in that area
Then I responded to your amphibolite post & pic to me with post 2,636 demonstrating a simple proof of structural & functional soundness when concrete, properly emplaced in amphibolite with a "flip" dispersal system at the end of the original spillway.
Was there a misread of my original post (2,362) in discussing the challenges of anchoring a "flip" design at the end of the damaged spillway?
