The turbines here are extremely loud. It sounds
like a jet engine running at high idle. |

| This shot pretty much sums up 90% of the power
plant. A veritable maze of ducts and tubes in large yet cramped rooms. |
The floors are a dark red to easily hide any
stains and spills, same as Chinese restraints. No joke. |
 |
 |
| Hmm, these shafts are used occasionally for maintenance,
just be sure the steam is turned off. |
As seen in the above photo, locating leaks is usually
a trivial task. |
 |
 |
| These long walkways run the entire length of the UW underground.
The steam power plant serves as a heating source for the whole campus
by pumping hot steam through the buildings. |
Same as left photo, just no flash. |
 |
 |
| We're currently about 20+ feet underground, so technicians
have to do a lot of climbing. |
The funniest thing is that this 4ft wide flat screen
monitor wasn't hooked up to anything, and its located in the employee
lounge. Good spending of taxpayer dollars. =D |
