Image Captions Earthen lower and upper cofferdams straddled Black Canyon, bracketing the dam site and preventing seepage into areas that would be primed for concrete. The upstream structure (above) was covered with concrete in order to resist the pressure of a swelling lake and the possibilities of flash floods as snows melted. A rock barrier protected the lower cofferdam. Most dramatic of all the workmen in Black Canyon were the high scalers who swung out from the cliffs on ropes secured to steel rods and then set about prying, cutting, or blasting away loose or uneven rock. Although some four hundred high scalers were employed at any one time, only seven lost their lives while removing the equivalent of 137,000 cubic yards of stone.
