Vidraru Dam is considered by the specialists a real jewelry of engineering. 42 kilometers of subterranean galleries were drilled, about 1,768,000 cubic meters of hard rocks were excavated (of which one million had to be extracted from the undergrounds), 930,000 cubic meters of concrete were used and 6,300 tons of electromechanical equipment were set up for its construction.
