Concrete Form Around Discharge Pipe (Coulee Dam irrigation pumping plant and discharge pipes) Item Info

Construction of the Pumping Plant Structure, Grand Coulee Dam, Washington. Installation of pumping unit P-2 discharge pipe, showing the concrete form around the outlet tunnel, placement of reinforcing steel and in the center close to the concrete form is a square opening for the block out which is on top of the discharge pipe under the steel matt. This block out extends upward on an angle from the end of the steep matt to the top of the tunnel, part of it can be seen in the center background, it continues on into the tunnel and will be used to run pumpcrete pipes for the pouring of concrete around the discharge pipe. The vertical steel bars on the steel matt (right) are for the elevator block out. Discharge pipes for pumping units P-1 and P-3 have been placed in position and are shown at the right and left of P-2 installation.
