Underground Tunnelling for Power on the Tongariro Power Development 

Great Video, I can remember when the project was being built and visiting the visitor center, the Rangipo intake, and the Tokaanu Tunnel, thanks for sharing

I started as Heavy Plant Fitter for the MOWD in Turangi Workshops then moved onto Rangipo North before going onto shift work in the Underground Power Station as a fitter. Once the project started to slow down moved over the New Zealand Electricity as a Operator at the Tokaanu Power Station. A lot of good memories.

I was at Tongariro High School from 1971 to 1977 I remember the Italian kids at our school some were friends. With the hole thru Dominion Breweries produced a special beer which every family in Turangi seemed to have several crates of big bottles.
