We are now in the final stages of the build.
This picture shows the grills that cover the inlet channel.
Access for maintenance will be through the gate which will be padlocked shut under normal conditions.
The galvanised railing that spans the inlet channel is fitted directly above the coarse screen (which will stop large debis from entering the screw).
A ladder has been bolted to the far side of the inlet channel to enable access into the channel for screen cleaning.
All the grills have been installed over the screw. These are, unfortunately, necessary for health & safety reasons.
A ventilated cowl has been fitted over the generator on the front face of the Powerhouse.
Stan and his men inspect the small sluice gate which will be fitted in the inlet channel to control the flow of water to the Waterwheel.
The almost finished hydro viewed from the far side of the river.
We are very pleased with how the hydro fits into the surrounding landscape - it looks as if it has always been there!
Just a few small jobs to be finished off before the final commissioning, training and handover on 23rd December.
