| Title | Concrete Block Construction |
| Description | Blocks in dam near bedrock, looking west from block 30 - low placing trestle in upper right. The concrete cells in this image show the construction process of the monolithic Grand Coulee Dam. These low placing trestle reinforced these blocks as they built up to its height, only to be replaced as they surpassed the low trestle by a high placing trestle that would support the continued construction of higher parts of the Dam. |
