Bottom shaft steel dam of heavy-duty materials, such as steel or concrete, and are designed to withstand the high pressures and forces generated by the flow of water. They can be customized to meet specific project requirements, including the size and shape of the spillway, the expected flow rates, and the available headwater and tailwater depths.
A steel dam is a type of dam (a structure for containing or retarding the flow of water) made of steel rather than the usual masonry, earthworks, concrete,
or wood building materials. Relatively few examples have been made. Of the three dams built in the United States, two remain. The Ashfork Bainbridge Steel Dam,
built in the Arizona desert in 1898 to supply locomotive water for the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railroad (ATSF), and the Redridge Steel Dam, built in 1901. ,
to supply water to stamp factories in Upper Peninsula, Michigan. A third, the Hauser Lake Dam in Montana, was completed in 1907 but failed in 1908.
After World War I, steel dams proved uneconomical as the price of steel rose many times over the price of cement. Economics in the 21st century are very favo
rable due to lower total on-site labor costs, reduced transport costs for bulk materials, increased annual construction hours, and flexibility in construction planning
to comply with legal requirements.
