The equipment used to accomplish the construction of Terbela Dam
Tarbela Dam is located in Pakistan and is the world's largest fill-type dam. It is built over
the River Indus near the small town of Tarbela in the Haripur District of the country. It is also the
second largest dam in the world in terms of reservoir capacity, which is 11.62 million acre-feet
(14.3 billion cubic metres).
Construction on the primary elements of the project was started in 1968 and initial operations of
the dam started in 1978. The project was fully completed in 1984, at a cost of $1.49bn
Proper use of the appropriate equipment contributes to economy, quality, safety, speed and
timely completion of a project.
Equipment are used for highway projects, irrigation, buildings, power projects etc.
15-30% of total project cost has been accounted towards equipment and machinery.
