  • The magnificent Hoover Dam which was constructed 80 years ago, still stands strong and serves the US in the fields of irrigation, flood control, and power production. Even during a torrential rainfall you won’t see Hoover dam overflowing like this causing destruction. Welcome to the engineering secrets of Hoover Dam. In this video, you are going to assume the role of Hoover Dam design engineer Mr. John Savage and design and construct a gigantic dam in Arizona’s Colorado River.

    I grew up in Henderson, Nv. so close to Hoover Dam--I have seen the movie on making the actual dam as well as the engineering behind it--TOTALLY YEARS BEFORE ITS TIME!! So amazing!!! I have taken many tours down into the dam--our neighbor escorted tours on the weekends!!! I was is awe of it as a little child and I am still as an adult!!! I am 61 now and have not been to the dam in 33 years. There is no doubt it is a wonder it was ever completed---my grandkids could not believe men actually hung by ropes and no A/C or cell phone were used!! Their Grandpa retired to Boulder City and showed them the dam---they were 4 and 6 and a bit intimidated--as we all should be at this amazing wonder!!! The great men that actually did the manual labor are heros' in my book!!!

      @@BlueInOrangeAgain While I normally let it slide. Cush Yadav made a statement that cannot stand and stated his credentials to back up his statement. It is you tube etiquette to copy the OP's form in the reply thus Travis correctly stated his credentials. One might therefore ask you: Why attack a teacher? You ask: what is inaccurate? Certainly the expression "beautifully explained" is subjective. I feel it was dumbed down for STEM and diversity candidates. The pace was WAY too slow and ultimately it contained only a brief overview, NOT the promised clickbait secrets.
      1:00 His first drawing of compression and tension was "inaccurate". While the engineering lesson was somewhat correct his exaggerated drawing clearly showed BOTH sides in elongation. He claimed that cool water in the pipes 6:23 quote: "set the concrete quickly and easily". NO it slows the set not quickens it. He further makes it sound like the water was stopped as soon as the set took place but (of course) the concrete was cooled for months to slow curing. He also forgot to mention THE SECRET that they used ice in the mix to reduce heat in the concrete further slowing the set. His pictures show blocks he calls 50X50. The illustration suggests they were 50X50X50, but the lifts on this job were 2 ~ 4 inches at a time. In hindsight it is believed that the block staggering ultimately had little to no affect on even cooling because of the ambient temperatures and direct sun.
      Fun fact: There are parts deep inside of the hoover dam that are still not completely cured 86 years later. The myth that dead workers were entombed without anyone knowing is false. The concrete was poured 2 ~ 4 inched at a time.

      @SARCAPITAL you would most definitely been working with some insufferable individuals who would expect you to be like "one of them" in order to be accepted amongst their ranks. That's how it worked in the coal industry. As a foreman / engineer, you're expected to hunt and fish and own a collection of "Rredneck toys", such as 4 wheelers and boats and a 70,000 dollar pickup truck for hauling air around...
      They expect you to like country music (BARRRFFF), suck ass to certain bosses, be related to a multitude of individuals within the company, place work over God and family; for, it is THEY who are your God and your family. The non-believers replacement is but a phone call away, and thanks to the chicken shit "at will" clause governing management employees, they can terminate you for such a reason. And they expect you to spy on other workers who are drawing workers compensation, especially the union workers. And you better not be afraid to let some safety go out the window. Shutting the belt line down because you spot 3 rollers that have seized up and are starting to burn the conveyor belt isn't a good enough reason to shut down for 20 minutes to replace them. Shut downs for necessary maintenance cuts into the shifts foreman's production bonus he receives every quarter. But get caught letting such violations go... that shift foreman WILL NOT go to bat for you, neither. They'll just make you out to be a liar and a trouble make before the federal inspectors of MSHA if an investigation takes place. Saying you're "new" doesn't help either
      Now, that's a most extreme case. But I guarantee you other engineering and labor-related companies out there operate the same way. So be at ease to known that you at least got to avoid some of that I mentioned

But there are guys who have spent their entire lives working explosive mining, learning from generations of guys who have perfected it over their lifetime. Those guys are experts in their field and know exactly how to get it to break and fall where they want it safely and efficiently, something the engineer would have no idea how to accomplish. Or the water pipes in the concrete, there are guys who have spent their entire lives working with concrete and know exactly how to get the concrete to cure without stress cracks and such, easy for an engineer to draw some pipes on a plan and say we’re gonna cool it with water as if cures, something totally different to get in their and design a system to do it effectively.

    Just amazing. I just saw a video about a lake in Italy where, in 1963, the mountain became so water-logged from the creation of a dam that half of the mountain came down displacing the water. I wonder if Savage took something like that into consideration 80 years ago!

    I've been there and now have a clearer understanding of what I was looking at . . . and it is awe inspiring. If you can make an excuse to travel that direction, or, if you will ever again be able to afford driving there, it is worth the time and effort. It's similar to visiting the Giza pyramids, but in this case you know how it was built and it's a marvel.

    A fascinating - and well-explained - documentary. Having visited the Dam in 1993 and then November 2019 (at which time we gazed down into the empty space where the water used to be), it is clear that the Hoover Dam currently gives the southwester US states a bit of breathing space to moderate their water consumption before the desert returns. The 1983 "full-pool" use of the spillways to dump overflow water is now a distant memory.

    I have been to Hoover dam a couple times, the first when I was a kid. I remember walking on the roadway along the arch of the dam and looking over the top on the front face and seeing the power plant below. The hum of the electric transformers evokes a sense of a powerful force. Going on a tour of the dam was best being that it was probably in the upper 90’s outside, and as soon as you get inside the dam, it was cool (in some parts). The one thing that always stood out to me were the high tension electric towers on each side of the dam above the power plant that brought the power out of the power plant to the transformers at the top side of dam. It had to be a huge engineering feat to build the steel towers tilted at such an angle. The whole structure and operation is fascinating. Some day I need to go back there to see the new Highway bypass bridge in front of the dam.

    I'm always interested in knowing more about this dam's construction. My great Uncle was killed, working in one of the water diversion tunnels. Many workers lost their lives, assuring that we would have water and power for the future of towns like Los Angeles. His brother died while working on the installation off gas lines to Downtown Los Angeles. Another family member was the last mule skinner (20 mule team driver) that cut through the hills to build the roads that are now the 60 and 10 freeways.

EACH spillway could handle 200,000 cubic feet of water PER SECOND - the entire flow of the Niagara Falls.

    Such a awesome structure, full of genius engineering and quality built too, you can’t help not be in awe. I guess you could argue the negatives would be the environmental impacts flooding such large swathes of previously dry and inhabited land has had, as well as the installation of a barrier that completely blocks wildlife any free movement through the whole river system … and these are unfortunate consequences in these types of dam projects, but still … there is a grandeur to the Hoover dam in particular that still fills me with awe at what can be achieved. The fact that it outputs significant, clean hydroelectric power which is being used instead of more carbon rich sources of mower production too, is just the cherry on top.
    That being said, lake Mede isn’t faring so well in the prolonged low-rainfall conditions and it’s evident that the whole system has seen more fruitful times. The prominent bathtub ring showing how low levels have gotten is a warning that can’t be ignored. The anxiety of dead pool levels being reached grows with each passing month the levels drop further. I hope for the sake of the people this system provides for as well as the for the damn itself, that rains do come and alleviate some of the water anxiety that must be being felt.

    I toured down inside the dam and power plants before it was restricted. Everything is faced with ceramic tile and stainless steel. They really built to last. I stood on one of the penstocks feeding water to the turbines. You could feel the strength of the water flowing under you at over 100 miles per hour. It is an amazing place.

      there is no ceramic tile or stainless steel anywhere in the dam or on the tour
      you never stood on the penstock
      trust me ...i work there

    very good video! I have gone on the tours of the dam several times. I recommend the more extensive of the two tours. You go down deep into the structure and even can look out of the vent in the face of the dam. The standard tour ends at the powerhouse but the better tour goes much further.

    The huge spillways are awesome. I didn't know about them before visiting the dam. I went during a weekend trip to Vegas. My friends weren't interested so I rented a car and went by myself! Turned out to be a great experience.
