EQUIPMENS USED IN
EARTHEN DAMS

1.POWER SHOWEL
USEPower shovels are used principally for excavation and removal
of overburden in open-cut mining operations, though it may include loading of
minerals, such as coal. They are the modern equivalent of steam shovels, and
operate in a similar fashion.

OPERATIONS

digging

swinging

dumping

2.VIBRATOR
A vibrator is a mechanical device to generate vibrations. The vibration is often
generated by an electric motor with an unbalanced mass on its driveshaft.

USESVibrating screens are used to separate bulk materials in a mixture of different sized
particles. For example, sand, gravel, river rock and crushed rock, and
other aggregates are often separated by size using vibrating screens.

Vibrating compactors are used for soil compaction especially in foundations for roads,
railways, and buildings.
Concrete vibrators consolidate freshly poured concrete so that trapped air and excess
water are released and the concrete settles firmly in place in the formwork. Improper
consolidation of concrete

3.DUMPER TRUCKS
USESA dump truck (or, UK, dumper/tipper truck) is a truck used for transporting loose
material (such as sand, gravel, or dirt) for construction. A typical dump truck is
equipped with an open-box bed, which is hinged at the rear and equipped
with hydraulic pistons to lift the front, allowing the material in the bed to be
deposited ("dumped") on the ground behind the truck at the site of delivery. In the

UK and Australia the term applies to off-road construction plant only, and the road
vehicle is known as a tipper, tipper lorry.

4.SHOVELS
A shovel is a tool for digging, lifting, and moving bulk materials, such
as soil, coal, gravel, snow, sand, or ore. Shovels are used extensively
in agriculture, construction, and gardening.

USES-

Most shovels are hand tools consisting of a broad blade fixed to a medium-length
handle. Shovel blades are usually made of sheet steel or hard plastics and are very
strong. Shovel handles are usually made of wood (especially specific varieties such
as ash or maple) or glass-reinforced plastic.

5.WHEEL TRACTOR SCRAPPER

USESThe scraper is a large piece of equipment used in mining, construction, agriculture and
other earthmoving applications. The rear part has a vertically moveable hopper (also
known as the bowl) with a sharp horizontal front edge. The hopper can
be hydraulicallylowered and raised.

6.BULLDOZERS
USESA bulldozer is a crawler (continuous tracked tractor) equipped with a substantial
metal plate (known as a blade) used to push large quantities of soil, sand, rubble, or
other such material during construction or conversion work and typically equipped
at the rear with a claw-like device (known as a ripper) to loosen densely compacted
materials.

7.PNEWMATIC ROAD ROLLER

USESA road roller (sometimes called a roller-compactor, or just roller) is
a compactor type engineering vehicle used to compact soil, gravel, concrete,
or asphalt in the construction of roads and foundations, similar rollers are used also
at landfills or in agriculture.

8.TRACTOR
USESA tractor is an engineering vehicle specifically designed to deliver a high tractive
effort (or torque) at slow speeds, for the purposes of hauling a trailer or machinery
used in agriculture or construction.

9.SHEEP FOOT ROLLER

USESThe sheepsfoot roller has evolved into a wide variety of forms. This shows the Allis
Chalmers roller, designed by Paul Baumann (above left), which introduced
replaceable hammerhead tips in the late 1930s, during construction of the San
Gabriel Dam by the Los Angeles County Flood Control District.

10.WATER TANKER
USESA tank truck or tanker truck[1] (United States usage) or petrol tanker (United
Kingdom usage, both commonly shortened to tanker) is a motor vehicle designed
to carry liquefied loads, dry bulk cargo or gases on roads.
