The construction of Narayanpur Dam was done in the form of earthen dam, which included 9,00,000 cubic meters of embankment, non-overflow masonry dam, 5 blocks of additional spillway and 25 blocks of main spillway.

The casting of the deck slab for the bridge at a rate of one span per week was the incredible achievement while building this dam.
