Celeste Fay wondering what the best rigging points are.
The Number Two synchronous machine. Last run in 1993.
Will standing next to the Number One asynchronous machine. Last run in 1990.
The number two runner being loaded to take back to the shop.
Celeste inspecting the Number Two Unit.
Will Fay has been very busy with a 30# demolition hammer (rivet buster). It is astonishing how it can remove hardened/reinforced concrete. The turbine case has been removed. The lower deflector nozzle still needs to be removed. Note the Pelton waterwheel governor in background. Note how nice Will kept the area after he was finished each night.
This is typical of the ongoing work. Incredible that a 17 year old removed and rigged out this equipment!! Of course this was the ninth power plant Will had worked on!
No.3 turbine deflector nozzle being pulled with the overhead monorail. This unit never ran. The plant made more power with two units running then when all three units ran together. The penstock was 7000 feet long and the head losses with three units running was too much. |
