(Colin Zwaschka): "For the turbine and generator, there's a lot of weight there, as well as a lot of operating stresses from the rotation of everything." Piles beneath the pedestal go down 65 feet into the ground to support it. Rebar is placed together closely for support. And when a concrete pour is done, it's done carefully.
