Dike 8 was the first of many USACE contracts awarded to Odin in an effort to raise all the earthen dikes surrounding Folsom Lake in Folsom, California. The Dike 8 project consisted of the excavation and removal of approximately 10,000 cubic yards of unsatisfactory existing material, cleaning the dike foundation and exposing the existing bedrock, and backfilling the degraded dike with approximately 15,000 cubic yards of imported aggregates and earth fill.

The project was challenging because the construction took place in the winter of 2020. Odin had to prepare an emergency flood control plan and a lake monitoring plan in the event that Folsom Lake reached high water levels. Other challenging aspects included managing stormwater on the project, managing hundreds of truck loads of import and export materials through a wet construction site, and cleaning the bedrock foundation to a quality defined by DSOD standards.
