Origin of the dam
The idea was that any workers who were unfortunate enough to fall into the river would have something to grab on to. Fortunately, no incidents where this lifeline had to be used were recorded at the time. Over the course of three days, the dam gradually began to take shape.
However, it was no easy task. More than 1,200 trucks took part in construction, transporting multiple loads of soil and stones to waterfalls. By the time the operation was finished, nearly 28,000 tons of material had been moved to the site. So you can safely call it a mega operation!
