Exploring Dworshak Dam: the biggest dam you've probably never heard of

Hidden in the remote foothills of North Idaho sits a massive concrete structure that defies belief. But why is this dam HERE? And how does its unique location affect power generation and water quality for communities in the region? In this deep dive, we’re going where few people ever get to see:✅ Inside the Dam: We take a 600-foot elevator ride into the core of the structure where the temperature drops and the pressure rises.✅ The Diversion Tunnel: We explore the massive 40-foot diameter tunnel that moved an entire river during construction.✅ The "Self-Healing" Crack: Learn the incredible story of a 1980s structural issue that actually fixed itself over time.Dworshak isn’t just an engineering marvel; it’s a critical tool that prevents catastrophic flooding across the Pacific Northwest. Join us as we explore the history, the engineering, and the sheer scale of this Idaho giant.Don’t forget to LIKE and SUBSCRIBE for more infrastructure deep dives! 🚀#DworshakDam #Engineering #Idaho #MegaStructures #CivilEngineering #ClearwaterRiver
