Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The underground 500 kV oil-filled cables for G19, G20 and G21 generators at Grand Coulee Dam are being replaced with overhead transmission lines. (Note the first pylon carries no conductors yet.) The helicopter does much of the construction.

"Grand Coulee Dam is a gravity dam on the Columbia River in the U.S. state of Washington built to produce hydroelectric power and provide irrigation. It was constructed between 1933 and 1942... . It is the largest electric power-producing facility in the United States and one of the largest concrete structures in the world".
