Verwoerd Dam construction involves 3 1/2-yr concreting program calling for 2.1 million cu yd of concrete for 3120 ft long wall, which is to rise 280 ft above foundation level; when completed, it will have gross storage capacity of 6.75 million acre-ft; design of wall is double-curved concrete arch with spiral form of curvature in plan; spiral curve was adopted to obtain better distribution of stresses because of wide shallow valley; automatic crushing and batching plants speed construction of dam. (n 8 Aug 1968 p 32, 40, n 9 Sept p 40, 44, 50) (09766)
