power loader for placing gravel on
trucks for delivery to the power
plant.
From the storage yard to the
plant, a distance of about three
pany is constructing a new roadway,
requiring grading and travelling OF
practically it's entire length. This
will provide a direct and level road
for hauling and relieve the city
streets of the wear and tear Of
heavy trucking.
Thre principle followed in all this
preliminary planning and work, and
to be followed throughout the devel-
opment,-getting the works into OPP
GRAFTON in the shortest possible time
is to cut down the cost of money
during construction, a factor in
the economics OF the situation which
all public utilities take into first
consideration, as it results in saving
of costs and, ultimately, their les
sening
The first thing on the program at
ter the establishment of camp, will
be the 'unwatering" of the river
bottom where the new machinery is
to be placed. The foundation work
will be done about forty feet below
the water level, and two large cof-
ferdams will be constructed for this
purpose. Pumps will be in opera
ton night and day to keep the foun-
dalton location as free as possible
from water.
The structure which will enclose
the hydraulic works will be of con-
crete, requiring some 5000 cubic |
yards, 6S feet by 80 feet and 60 feet
high In effect it will be block of |
within which two 5000
horsepower turbine wheels and 9TH
pr hydralic machinery will be en-
:ased, with tunnels and shafts as
means of access. On top of this
structure will be the two new 5000
horsepower electric generators and
Equipment, housed within a metal
severed building.
This is new and most economi-
al type of construction and is called
he outdoor type and, while
chieving equal, if not greater, eff
iency, is much less expensive thant
rdinary types, which is further evil
ence of the economies practiced by
public utilities, the
i'm of which is to reduce costs,
Thich are reflected in the electric
