The pictures are of a hydro project at Clowhom lake, British Columbia, Shots are of the lower power house and where the pen stock connections are being made. Dive site photos are in Sechelt Inlet B.C We were setting up to repair or slow down the leaks in that rust bucket barge so they could take it through the Sechelt rabids and get it to scrap.

Nice shots of a clean looking worksite.  Lots of piping.  Water treatment or chemical plant?  I must admit I recognize none of the machinery.
I like run of the river shots better.  Spent a lot of time in the past three years working on two very different run of the river projects for Ledcor.  One in Whistler( Fitzsimmonds Creek) and one on the Ashlu Creek just twenty minutes from home.  For the most part I've enjoyed this work. 
I have some photos and I'll see about getting them posted.
Thanks, Richard.

Great pics Thanks. That looks like a fun project. How long did that one last or is still going on?
Parent - By Wrench Tech (**) Date 12-15-2009 04:00
All finished and making power now except for the photos with fitz in them.  I didn't have all that much to do with the Fitz job.  They'll be all done about mid January, I guess.  And yes the Ashlu job was a good one.  Over three years of steady contract work.  I'm spoiled now.

looks like a small generation project?
Parent - By ssbn727 (*****) Date 11-30-2009 02:16
Is that a smaller size hydroelectric project somewhere on the Idaho River???

Respectfully,
Henry
