I find it very interesting and look in every day .If you start from the large storms that caused the failures it will be a long read/view.November deadline working 20 hours with 2 shifts per day the hottest 4 hours not worked.

Cool.

Of course, if they'd done the maintenance in the first place this would have been much smaller and cheaper...

I am glad someone else finds this project interesting. It appears that lots of dams and other infrastructure is in a poor state being quite old .The oroville dam has to provide water at the correct flow rate and temperature as it supports salmon hatchery's and rice farming and also provides electricity, the canals and lakes down stream are also extensive and complex .

After reading a bit of it, I really don't know what's going on, but I like the look of it

These large infrastructure projects do hold a fascination with me too. Anyone else watched the crossrail documentaries recently?

 

[Rod]

Yes I did.
I worked on the Channel Tunnel Rail Link (HS1) but sadly the Company I worked for were unsuccessful in their bid for Crossrail.
