    Hi Eric

    Not really.

    The spillway is an integral part of the dam structure and the contuction usually follows the earth fill in stepped stages.

    The construction is not complex being a simple concrete trough usually going through ramped and horizontal stages.

    The design is crucial because of the rapidly flowing water over it which - if allowed to create air bubbles - will take up the concrete with a negative force and break it up - this is called "cavitation".

    A scale model in a lab will be needed to test the design to allow for that.

    I hope that helps.

    Best regards
