W. R. Holway
William Rea Holway (April 29, 1893 – April 23, 1981), commonly known as W. R. Holway, was an American civil engineer who became prominent in Oklahoma. He is best known for his work on major water supply projects for the city of Tulsa, and on the Pensacola Dam at Grand Lake o' the Cherokees.
Holway came to Tulsa in 1918, where he became the city waterworks engineer. In 1920, he was hired as a consulting engineer to plan a pipeline to carry water from Lake Spavinaw to Tulsa.〔Grand Lake News Online. "W. R. Holway, Pensacola's Architect."Accessed February 13, 2011.()〕 He founded the firm W. R. Holway and Associates in 1922.〔(Glen Roberson, ''Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture''. "Grand River Dam Authority." ) Accessed February 19, 2011.〕 Holway was chief engineer for the Pensacola Dam, which created the Grand Lake o' the Cherokees on the Grand River (the lower Neosho River), in northeastern Oklahoma. Construction began in 1938 and was completed in 1940. At the time, this was the longest multiple-arch dam in the world. In 1952, W. R. Holway and Associates was the engineering firm that built Lake Eucha, which functions as additional storage and as a buffer for Lake Spavinaw.〔(City of Tulsa, Retrieved January 4, 2011 )〕
