Powerhouse Maintenance

Yesterday I spent an hour hosting in Powerhouse 1.  It's impossible to tell but their are 10 turbines in this building.  They were first installed in the 1930's so there is always maintenance required.  Yesterday was no exception.  There were four maintenance men working on turbine number 9 which is the second one back.  From what I could see, they were replacing air filters. Huge units.  The big orange crane was used to lower the units into the generator.


Here you can see the crane operator.  That one crane can lift 300 tons!  Not bad I'd say.
