September 30, 2011 marked the 76th anniversary of the dedication of Hoover Dam. The dam straddles the
border of Arizona and Nevada in the Black Canyon of the Colorado River and was dedicated by President
Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1935. Rising 726.4 feet from its foundation, Hoover Dam was constructed in five
years, beginning in 1931 and completed in 1936. Take a look back at its construction and history.

The site of one of the greatest engineering projects ever undertaken by the American government, the place where Hoover Dam would be
1 constructed, is shown Sept. 19, 1930. About seven miles from Las Vegas, Nevada, when completed, it would furnish water and electrical power to
(#photo1) six states. The Dam was estimated to cost in the neighborhood of $165,000,000. (AP Photo) # (#photo2)

Colorado may be seen flowing from the mouths of the tunnels at bottom of picture. (AP Photo) # (#photo10)
A steel bucket holding eight cubic yards dumps the first load of concrete for the foundation of the Hoover Dam on the floor of Black Canyon in

This piece of equipment, named a Jumbo Rig, was designed to speed up the Hoover Dam's tunnel drilling process. Built on the back of a 10-ton truck, 24 to 30
drills could be operated at once. # (#photo13)

This undated view, looking upstream through the Black Canyon, shows the giant concrete forms covering the finished base of the Hoover Dam as construction
continued in Boulder City, Nevada. The fleet of trucks used to haul materials for the concrete are seen in foreground. (AP Photo) # (#photo15)
The dam was built in vertical columns of blocks that varied in size from about 60 feet square at the upstream face of the dam to about 25 feet square at the
downstream face. An estimated 215 blocks make up the dam. Adjacent columns were locked together by a system of vertical keys on the radial joints and
horizontal keys on the circumferential joints (think "giant Lego set"). Concrete placement in any one block was limited to five feet in 72 hours. After the concrete
was cooled, a cement and water mixture called grout was forced into the spaces created between the columns by the contraction of the cooled concrete to
form a monolithic (one-piece) structure. (Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation) # (#photo16)
In this U.S. Bureau of Reclamation photo, construction gangs on the great Boulder Dam, who work night and day, have pushed past the half-way mark, months
ahead of schedule. The foundations for power plants on the Nevada side can be seen in the left foreground, and those on the Arizona side in the right
foreground. The dark line running up and down the center of the dam is a crack through the entire dam, left temporarily to aid in the cooling of the concrete in
an undated photo. (AP Photo) # (#photo17)
Construction of the Hoover Dam continued, a constant stream of large trucks dumping fifty tons of soil a minute, built an earth fill dam across the Colorado
River, forcing its turbulent waters into two fifty-foot diversion tunnels on the Arizona canyon wall on Nov. 15, 1932. (AP Photo) # (#photo18)

A three million pound gate of tunnel no. 4, shown above at left, was ready to close, Feb. 1, 1935, stopping flow of the Colorado River at the Boulder Dam, thus
starting filling of a huge reservoir. The above photo taken just before the gate started closing shows a coffer dam built across the entrance of tunnel no. 3, which
has been diverting the river through the canyon walls and around the dam on the Arizona side. (AP Photo) # (#photo23)
This general view of Black Canyon on the Colorado River, looking upstream toward the site of Hoover Dam, shows a temporary steel suspension bridge in the
foreground and portals of the 56-inch diversion tunnel bores which will carry the river water while the dam is under construction, March 12, 1932. The dam will
be in Black Canyon, despite the fact that it is generally known as the Boulder Canyon Project. (AP Photo) # (#photo24)

27, 1937. Power from the generators at the top of Boulder Dam left this station on the main line to Los Angeles at 287,500 volts. Four 115,000 horse power
generating units were installed and placed in operation by the Bureau of Reclamation in the Boulder Dam power house. The ultimate installation
6 would consist of 15 units of this size and two of 55,000 horse power. (AP Photo/Department of the Interior) # (#photo37)

Boulder Dam's mighty water intake towers, rising 395 feet into the air, are in picture of the gigantic power project shown, April 14, 1938. Through these towers
flows the water which operates the huge generators in the powerhouse below the 727-foot dam. On the shores of the 110-mile long lake impounded, the
government has established the boulder dam recreational area. (AP Photo) # (#photo38)
These six 82,500 kva generators in the Nevada wing of the power house at Boulder Dam were the biggest in the world on Feb. 7, 1939. Power produced at the
dam by these generators and one in the Arizona wing, amounted to 130,000,000 kilowatt hours of energy each month which sold for $290,000. The Bureau of
Reclamation which built and operated the dam, received $3,297,289 in two years. Production at that time was approximately one-third of the ultimate capacity.

Hoover Dam, once known as Boulder Dam, is a concrete arch-gravity dam in the Black Canyon of the Colorado River, on the border between the US states of
Arizona and Nevada. It was constructed between 1931 and 1936 during the Great Depression and was dedicated on September 30, 1935, by President Franklin
Roosevelt. Its construction was the result of a massive effort involving thousands of workers, and cost over one hundred lives. The dam was controversially
named in honor of President Herbert Hoover. # (#photo47)

What a mighty effort in culling all those most fascinating historical and valuable engineering photographs that truly inspire any engineer worth his salt!
Kudos to the USBR and the planners, administrators and constructors of this unique and magnificent mammoth facility nearly eighty long years ago...!

I have taken the Dam Tour. Driven across the Hoover dam many times going back and forth from Phoenix and Las Vegas. The last few years it would take
sometimes almost two hours to get across the dam because of pedestrian traffic visiting the dam and taking the tour. It is turely an amazing engineering
feat. I have also taken the new bypass and you do not slow down at all except for Boulder City. When you cross you have no idea what is below. And you
are across in seconds. A real time saver for getting back and forth from Arizona and Nevada
