That  power  station .. wonder  how  long before  mother  nature  reclaims  her ? .. I had  a  hairy  experience  there  years  ago  when  I  was  an  Appie ..   One  of  the  generator  sets   kept  on giving  low oil  pressure  warning   ..  I tested  and tested  and checked and double  checked  .. everything looked  Kosher   .. Oil  pressure Ok , pressure  switch  giving  correct signal  ..  Off  to  main panels  ..  located a  relay   in the  warning circuit  that looked  as  if it  had  a  welded together  contact   .. thought  well  lets see  what  happens   if I  can  prise  it apart ..  did  the deed  ..  did  a dastardly  deed .. I  heard  this  moaning  sound as  all the  generators  shut  down   vhoom  vhoom  slower  and slower  and  all  the lights  went  out   .. all  the  engineers  at  the  station  came flying  out  of the  tea room  and there  was  me  perched on a ladder with the   offending  screwdriver  in  my  hand ,  no  place to  hide  .. I  had  brought  the entire  north section  of the  mine  to  a  halt ...   was I  in  trouble .. YES ... did I get fired ?  NO   but  close ...   in theory  there  should ahve  been an  artisan  in  supervision  but  that never  happened  as  generally  once  one  showed  reasonble  savvy you did a  lot  of  work on  your  own  .. long and short  of it was  that  the low oil  pressure  warnig light never  came on  again   ...

Was'nt there a Powerstation also up past 2 plant?

???

[SandyB]

Now I am  confused ..  we  had  one  in  the town  and  one  operational  up  past 2  plant   thats  where I did  the  dastardly  deed  .. is  this  an  older  one   somewhere else  on the mine ??  Bzzzzzzzzzzz

[Michael Alexander]

Sorry, Sandy it's me who's confused... I only know of the 2 powerstations, did'nt realise which one you were referring to.

The tunnel is out of bounds been so since 2 plt shut down, they are only keeping the water out, the operator on duty there has to inform his supervisor when he goes down. I will get some pics of the shaft going down ect. Don't want to try and go down my leg might cause a problem 8 steep flights of stairs a bit to much for me sorry. I will have a look arround could have some pics from my days at 2 plant as a sparkie.
