History of The Hoover Dam

The Hoover Dam was the first man made structure to exceed the masonry mass of the Great Pyramid of Giza.

The dam contains enough concrete to pave a strip 16 feet wide and 8 inches thick from San Francisco to New York City.

The dam is a National Historic Landmark and has been rated by the American Society of Civil Engineers as one of America’s Seven Modern Civil Engineering Wonders.

Hoover Dam borders the State of Nevada and Arizona.

The Hoover Dam is a true testimony to a country’s ability to construct monolithic projects in the midst of adverse conditions.

Built during the Depression; thousands of men and their families came to Black Canyon to tame the Colorado River. It took less than 5 years, in a harsh and barren land, to build the largest dam of its time. Now, more than 60 years later, Hoover Dam still stands as a world-renowned structure

How much does Hoover Dam weigh?

More than 6,600,000 tons.

What type of dam is Hoover?

A concrete arch-gravity type, in which the water load is carried by both gravity action and horizontal arch action.

How long did it take to build the dam, power plant?

Five years. The contractors were allowed 7 years from April 20, 1931, but concrete placement in the dam was completed May 29, 1935, and all features were completed by March 1, 1936.
