Outlet Works Blockouts |
Title Caption |
Blockouts completed for the elevation 934 outlet works conduit gates by the Mason-Walsh-Atkinson-Kier Company. They are 26'-10" x 30' in size, with floor elevation at 917.5 and the top at elevation 975. Due to the inability of the Hardie-Tynes Company to deliver the completed gates in time for the Mason-Welsh-Atkinson-Kier Company to embed them in the dam during 1937, it was necessary to provide blockouts for the future installation of the gates. |
