Argentine engineers visit Heppner dam
Willow Creek Dam is know a all
over the world because it was the
first dam built using the roller com
pacted concrete technique which
results in a savings in both money
and time. Raul Lescano told the
Heppner Gazette Times Tuesday In
dam construction, the investment
and the savings by the RCC method
are measured in miliums of dollars,
he said
Lescano is the Director of
l ngincering for the project Urugua I
in Misiones. a province in nor
iheaslem Argentina He was travel
ing with Alberto Giovamhattivta. a
concrete technical consultant The
two men will be in charge of
building a roller compacted concrete
hydroelectric dam in Misiones that
will he 76 meters high, about twice
as high as Willow Creek Dam
lescano estimated the project would
cost SI 30 million
Die Willow Creek Dam at Hepp
ner was the first. lescano emphasiz
ed. so it is necessary, like Muslims
making a pilgrimage to Mecca, that

people that the dam is safe
Since the Willow Creek Dam was
designed for flood control, a small
amount of water loss is insignificant,
he said The water just goes hack in
the creek When building a dam for
electrical power, if we allow waier

the turbines
