A total of 420 Caterpillar machines help construct more than 660 dams as part of Mexico's Plan Benito Juarez.
1972-1977 - Alaska
More than 2,000 Caterpillar machines help construct the Trans-Alaskan Pipeline.
The Trans-Alaskan Pipeline was one of the most difficult and costly construction projects ever attempted. Running 800 miles from Prudhoe Bay to Valdez across three mountain ranges and 120 rivers and streams, the pipeline was built to withstand earthquakes, wind and extreme cold with a minimal impact on the local environment and wildlife populations. Two Caterpillar dealers - N.C. Machinery Co. and Fabick CAT - formed a joint venture to handle sales and service of Caterpillar machines on the mammoth construction project. As of 2006, the pipeline had transported more than 15 billion barrels of oil.
1972-1979 - Switzerland
Caterpillar machines help construct the Gotthard Road Tunnel.
1972 - 1987 - Quebec, Canada
Caterpillar machines work on the first phase of the James Bay Power Project.
Contractors used Caterpillar machines to construct four powerhouses, four dams, 21 spillways, six control structures, canals, lakes, 80 miles of dikes and 800 miles of roads. At certain stages, according to reports at the time, Caterpillar built 80 percent of the machines contractors used on the project.
1973-1978 - Brazil
Caterpillar machines help construct the Sao Simao Dam.
1973-1978 - Brazil
More than 50 Caterpillar machines help construct the Agua Vermelha Dam.
1974 - Alberta, Canada
Caterpillar machines are still in use for a variety of tasks at the Athabasca Oil Sands.
1974 - Hong Kong
A fleet of 56 Caterpillar machines helps construct the High Island Reservoir.
1974-1976 - Zaire, Africa
Sixty Caterpillar machines help clear the right-of-way for the Inga-Shaba Transmission System, a new 1,100-mile extra-high-voltage power line for Zaire.
1975 - Iran
Iran purchases 1,060 Caterpillar machines which will be used to improve the country's transportation and infrastructure systems.
1975-1983 - California
A fleet of 45 Caterpillar machines help construct the Warm Springs Dam.
1975-1984 - Brazil and Paraguay
Caterpillar machines participate in the construction of the Itaipu Hydroelectric Project, one of the largest hydroelectric projects ever undertaken.
1977-1983 - Paris, France
More than 200 Caterpillar machines help construct the first lines for the new Ligne a Grande Vitesse (high-speed train).
1978-1986 - Venezuela
More than 350 Caterpillar machines help with additional construction on the Guri Dam / Raul Leoni Dam.
When contractors completed the first phase of the project, they immediately began work on phases two and three, which enlarged the size of the original dam and added an additional powerhouse. Caterpillar supplied 95 percent of the equipment on the final two construction phases of the project.
