V2 UTAH INTERNATIONAL: A BIOGRAPHY OF A BUSINESS water from a refrigeration plant through a web of steel pipes and sent crushed ice, replacing carefully calculated proportions of water, directly into the concrete. The Norfolk Dam was dedicated in 1945, creating a forty-mile-long lake and generating more than 35,000 kilowatts of electricity. Smaller TVA projects also contributed to Utah’s overall dambuilding program with its associates. In 1942 Utah and M-K jointly contracted to construct the Watauga and South Holsten diversion spillway tunnels near Knoxville, Tennessee. The following year, Utah relocated the Southern Railway line between Bryson City and Wesser, North Carolina, before Fontana Dam, a major part of the TVA system, inundated the site. The company’s dam-building enterprise continued well past the Depression and war years in such places as Angostura, South Dakota (completed in 1947), Sonora, Mexico (1947), Davis, Arizona (1951), and Grace, Idaho (1959). Dam work also brought Utah Construction to its home state to build the $2.6 million Gateway Tunnel near Ogden. Completed in 1954, work consisted of driving, lining, and constructing portal structures for the tunnel, which measured more than three miles in length with an approximate diameter of ten feet. Then, in 1957, the company also built the $3 million Wanship Dam, east of Salt Lake City and part of the Weber Basin complex. This earth-filled structure rose 156 feet and stretched two thousand feet at the crest. Behind it, Rockport Reservoir filled for use in irrigation and recreation. That same year, Utah raised the height of Ogden’s Pineview Dam, which it had built during the 1930s, to make it a key element in the Weber Basin system.
