Full Speed Ahead

Work on the Mayo B project continues on time and on budget. Here are some of the most recent photos, taken within the last couple of weeks. 1) exterior of new powerhouse; 2) interior of new powerhouse; 3) section of the penstock (large pipe) that will be buried underground and that will carry water from the Mayo River to the new powerhouse three kilometres downstream; and 4) close up of one piece of the penstock. It is being brought up the Alaska Highway one piece at a time on trucks.

The powerhouse is just about finished; the penstock will be installed this spring. The turbines/generators are in production and should arrive in Yukon from China this summer. Mayo B should be in operation late this year or early next.
