Equipment Selection, Operation and Maintenance at Mangla Dam

The unprecedented size of the Mangla Dam Project has lead to the selection, operation, and maintenance of the largest peacetime construction fleet ever assembled. Equipment selection was carefully made, native operators trained and modern production techniques practiced. Resultant mechanical problems were resolved and routine repairs were accomplished by an energetic maintenance program, thus satisfactory results have been achieved by combining American construction industry know-how with good construction machinery and vendor service.
