Los Angeles Aqueduct Sets Low Losses in Underground Work
The project uses gravity flow with no pumping plants and will produce 120000 horsepower from the water’s fall, with bond and interest coverage from electrical sales. Builders used over 6000000 pounds of blasting powder, yet only five workers died underground, a figure far lower than the Catskill aqueduct’s 160 deaths and 1600 injuries. Chief Engineer Mulholland credits precise fuse timing and rigorously tested equipment for the safety record.
