Red Rock Dam cored for one unit of hydroelectric project

Oct 25

Another milestone was reached Oct. 21 at the Red Rock Hydroelectric Project (RRHP) as construction workers successfully cored through the Red Rock Dam.

Coring through the dam was done to prepare for the installation of a penstock, a conduit which will bring water from the intake structure located in Lake Red Rock into the powerhouse. The powerhouse is where the turbines are located that will use the water to turn the turbine/generator to produce electricity.
