A section of pipe is moved into a tunnel

In the dark mouth of a tunnel cut into the rock, a huge riveted section of steel pipe rests on a low carriage, held from above by a cable; a worker in a vest stands at the left and another is at work beside the carriage, both small against the pipe. The sections were lowered into the canyon by cableway and moved into the tunnels, where they were joined into the penstocks that carry water to the turbines.
