A special jacking rig is used to unload boiler tube panels from rail cars near the Project site. The project's first delivery of fabricated steel is lifted into place near the completed foundation for one of the plant's two heat recovery steam generators.
Workers pour concrete for the cooling tower basin.
The steam turbine generator foundation and pedestal takes shape. Huge underground pipes will circulate treated wastewater from the City of Klamath Falls for plant cooling. The innovative approach will preserve fresh water supplies and reduce the community's discharges to the Klamath River by about 2.3 million gallons a day. Construction of the project proceeds within view of Collins Products, a large wood products manufacturer that will buy steam from the plant. Klamath Falls Mayor Todd Kellstrom and Peter van Alderwerelt of PacifiCorp Power Marketing, break the first ground June 3, 1999.
