Increasing desperation in the ragtag camps near the dam site prompted President Herbert Hoover to order that work at the dam site commence even though Boulder City was not yet ready to house workers and their families. Six Companies hurriedly nailed together the River Camp dormitories to shelter around 480 single men. With the road into the canyon bottom still unfinished, Six Companies built barges to float crews and equipment to the dam site. The river could not be diverted around Black Canyon, yet the riverbed must be exposed, pumped dry, and excavated down to bedrock before the foundation could be laid. Thus Six Companies' primary and most difficult task became drilling four diversion tunnels through the cliffs to lure the river from its bed. |
