THE COMPLEXITY OF FORM-WORK AND LIFTING EQUIPMENT necessary to construct New Zealand’s largest concrete dam is clearly shown in this recent view at the Aviemore hydro-electric power project on the Waitaki river. More than 160,000 cubic yards of material has been poured into the concrete dam. First power will be generated by the station in the middle of 1968. With a capacity of 220,000 kilowatts, Aviemore will be the country’s third largest generating station. The cost is estimated at £22,000,000.
