Conclusions 1. Experience in the construction of the Dworshak hydroscheme demonstrates that present-day cable cranes represent high-output machinery which can reliably handle the placing of concrete at a high rate. 2. All-round rotary-jib cranes on portals can be used to advantage for concrete placing in the building of hydroschemes involving large volumes of concrete. 3. The use of self-rising formwork greatly facilitates and accelerates shuttering work. The cost of purchasing self-rising formwork, as evidenced by experience on the Dworshak construction, if fully recovered when large volumes of concrete masonry are involved. 4. Cooling of the constituents of the concrete mix and of the placed concrete, under favorable climatic conditions, enables high concrete dams to be erected with sectional division into concreting blocks.
