After about a year of grading, clearing and other work , construction started on the concrete dam in December, said Chuck Kahler, construction manager for Schnabel Engineering.

Builders didn't use the fluid concrete used to build sidewalks, Kahler said.The standard concrete used in dam construction is more like damp sand.

Using this cement allowed workers to add as much as three feet a day to the pale gray monolith, Kahler said.

"It makes sense from a sequencing standpoint to do the blasting work in the afternoon," said Chuck Kahler, an associate with Schnabel Engineering, the company designing the dam.
