Smith Mountain Dam dives push limits of underwater labor
Eight deep sea divers under Marine Contracting Inc plan a 40 day repair at the Smith Mountain Dam foot, replacing intake screens 200 feet underwater. They live five days at a time in a decompression chamber, work four hours daily, and earn about 1000 dollars weekly, with weekly 30 hour decompression rest. The project supports APCO’s 440,000 kilowatt system on the Roanoke River and aims for year end operation.
