The Leibis-Lichte Dam was constructed in the time period from 2002 to September 2005.

Inside the formwork, heavy equipment was used to spread and compact the large quantities of concrete.

[1] Mini excavators and graders put nearly 2,000 cubic metres (71,000 cu ft) of concrete each day into the formwork blocks.

Giant cable cranes, reaching over the valley, moved the concrete across the site, with the transport containers holding up to 6 cubic metres (212 cu ft) of concrete.
