Steel plate is shaped in the pipe plant

A long machine of riveted steel girders stretches away with a row of heavy clamps and presses along its underside, gripping the edge of a thick steel plate; at its end a worker in pale overalls and a cap stands at the control wheel. The steel pipes for the dam, up to nine metres across, were too large to be shipped by rail and were made in a fabrication plant built near the site, as the source notes.
