Chapter 5 A CHANGING COMPANY 71 The Pineview Dam, completed by Utah and Morrison Knudsen in June 1937, caught waters from several forks of the Ogden River. projects, the largest being a scheme to erect a dam, power plant, and tunnels on North Carolina’s Nantahala River, primarily for power production. Nantahala initially appeared to be a routine earth-filled operation, yet by the time Utah completed this project, the firm had wrestled with a series of problems and delays that threatened an over-budget financial disaster. Satisfied with Utah’s efforts, the TVA and the Nantahala Power and Light Company agreed to a settlement that produced a reasonable profit for the company. Next in the water-project category, Utah and M-K undertook the Norfolk Dam, a flood-control structure across the destructive Northfork River in Arkansas. A torrential rainstorm, hurling a thirty-four-foot wall of water through the construction site, and a second flood a few months later, amply demonstrated the need for the dam. While the cofferdams prevented a great deal of damage to downstream farms and homes, the contractors lost valuable work time. A wartime decision to add power-producing capabilities to Norfolk for strategic metal processing meant the dam builders must accelerate the concrete pouring by 60 percent. To counter the high heat generated by the concrete mix, pumps forced near-freezing
