Waneta expansion project: Penstock tunnels

摘要

The Waneta Expansion Project (WAX) is located near the existing Waneta Dam site at the confluence of the Pend d'Oreille and Columbia rivers, approximately 10 km (6.2 miles) south of Trail, BC, Canada. The WAX owners consist of a partnership between Fortis Inc., Columbia Basin Trust and the Columbia Power Corp. This design-build project was awarded to SNC-Lavalin in late 2010 and is expected to be operational in mid-2015.
