Menjil dam on the Sefi-Rud at night
In the early 1950s, Campenon Bernard was looking for new, more buoyant international markets. The company acquired a foothold in Iran, where it built the Menjil dam on the Sefid Rud in northwestern Iran. The dam was constructed using independent buttresses and was one of the largest of its kind at the time: 106 metres in height and 430 metres in ridge length.
