| Engineering!!! Tunnel in Reisseck II-Hydropower plant |
 |
| Reisseck II- I got to visit this site, it is the biggest engineering site in all of Austria. They are adding a new system for an existing hydro power plant, and I got to walk all around the tunnels inside this mountain... |
 |
| Reisseck II- In the distance is where the water entrapment will go for the system-like a dam. |
 |
| Pre-tension loading!!! important when building some tunnels. |
 |
| The reason why we were at this site was because Andy is in charge of the safety management (even though he is a geotechnical engineer-he wears many hats!) |
 |
| Uhm... Yeah, I got to witness this view on a normal day at the office. |
 |
| I got my workin' boots on! |
 |
| Anyone need a dentist? (These are pieces of the tunnel borer) |
 |
| Inside one of the tunnels- Where the huge water pipes will go. |
 |
| Large drill. |

 |
| This was an incredible site to visit. |
 |
| YIPPEE!!! |
