Now that's some awesome nature shots there, nbvc !
That stream is looking very good, but I agree with the previous comments about using Jeronij's rocks, they must look excellent in there !

Thanks for all comments. Some of the rocks will be replaced in this and the next update, but maybe now the way you suggested it.

The Tagalon Dam Project.

The government has decided that the valley near the Tagalon waterfall would be a good place for a new dam.

In a first step, the stream was redirected through a canal.




Now the loggers can prepare the area.






The canyon is a bit to small for the new dam.
A blasting operation should solve the problem.


The construction workers can now start to work on the basement for the dam.




...and the substation near the dam.



More coming soon...

Agree with Neofita, this is a wonderfull idea to follow the construction project of this dam, and then, it's really well done

A nice looking update with all the construction images.

Whoa what a cool update. You have me so intrigued. Great idea presenting the bridge construction as a step by step process. I hope you continue that theme in the next update.

I'm speechless. What a great update.

A well different update than I'm used see here in the SC4D! I liked very much!!!

That river valley looked really great and pristine!  I'm quite saddened by the canal/dam and deforestation!

Thanks for all comments.

The Tagalon Dam Project Part 2

The construction goes on quickly.


And the dam wall is finished.


The canals were removed and the water starts raising.


...higher


...and higher


Some months later everything is done and the flora around the new sea start growing.

This raising water level series of pics is a great idea. Very well done.

     I love those pictures of the water rising. You did a realy good job with them

A nice looking update, like the rest I enjoyed the series of images from the rising water level of the dam

[Engorn]

Wow! This is great, very great! A lot of very well done details, just how I like. Lovely, specially the growing water leve.

[canyonjumper]

Awesome! How did you get the water to look like that as it rose?

Thanks to all for comments.



Some images from the surrounding area of the dam.










I also uploaded parts of the container port to STEX. http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=23954

Very nice. I love the last pic. Good selection of trees. It seems realistic to me that the deciduous trees grow near the water (but I am not a biologist ).
