Hydro Workers Drilling Holes in Lake Bottom These workers are pictured here constructing Ontario Hydro's first tunnel-diffuser tunnel-diffuser system. While the men proceed to extend the length of the underwater tunnel, others are drilling holes in the 900 metre construct, forming the diffuser part of the project. by Catherine Denny Ninety holes. 48 inches in diameter, are now being drilled into the bottom of Lake Ontario. These holes are part of Ontario Hydro's new tunnel-diffuser tunnel-diffuser project which is being constructed for the first time at the Darlington Generating Station. The basic concept behind the two-tunnel diffuser is to bring cold lake water into the plant and then to discharge discharge the warmed cooling water after it has passed the condensers. The 90 holes will form the diffuser portion portion of the project. The in-take tunnel, which was started in 1982, is nearing nearing completion. Now workers workers are concentrating on finishing the discharge tunnel tunnel which has already advanced advanced as far as 937 metres. Because the holes used to diffuse the water into the lake must be completed before before work on the tunnel can proceed, Hydro workers are striving to finish the drilling drilling segment of the operation. operation. This is being carried out approximately 900 metres from shore on a six-legged flexilloat barge measuring 30 metres by 12 metres. This barge, which is located located at the west end of the project, is owned and operated operated by Dean Construction Co. of Belle River. Together with Franki Canada Ltd. they have formed a joint venture to drill the ninety holes, 1222 metres deep into the future tunnel. "Franki-Dcan are going to have to work very hard to get the job done as scheduled," scheduled," explained John Gar- vias, Tunnel Technician. However, according to Garvias, so far the workers are only one week behind, which means construction will more than likely be completed by December of next year, as scheduled. But caution-nol speed is the key word when working on a development such as this. Each step in the sequence sequence of events must be extremely precise in order to prevent prematurely flooding the tunnel and con sequently the whole site below lake level. Should one of the 1220 mm holes become open to the lake, the entire area below 97.4 metres would be flooded in approximately 20 minutes. Of course every precaution precaution is taken to prevent such a disaster including the exacting measures that are followed by all Hydro work- ' ers. The main advantage of the diffuser tunnels over the direct discharge system used at other generating stations are that the warm water is discharged into the cooler water near the lake bottom over a much wider area. This avoids interference interference with water temperature temperature which could affect the spawning fish near the lake- shore. "The water temperature will not be raised over two degrees Celcius," explained Hydro spokesperson spokesperson Sue Stickley. "And the affected area will only take in two square kilometres around the tunnel," tunnel," she added. Although the project is far from completion, workers workers are confident that it will prove to be more than adequate. Aside from the fact that the system will be guaranteed efficiency it was also approved by the Ministry of the Environment Environment as being ecologically safe. To use the Tunnel Technician's words, "This is the best tunnel that Hydro has ever built."
