RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:2 Funding Deals About to Close" At the Bennet Dam Rotar rehabilitation is budgeted at $44M and another $272M to reolace the turbines." I guess that's inflation for you. As I recall, the powerhouse contract for that project including penstocks and LVL shafts and 1st stage concrete for the entire powerhouse, was about 1/2 that amount. I was in there in late 1960s and later in the early 1970s, when we bid the turbine installations and 2nd stage concrete for #s 6,7&8 and 1st stage concrete for 9 &10. The vibration from 5 turbines & generators running at full bore and the discharge of thousands galls/min of spent water into the discharge manifold was impressive. The silence from ARW makes me cautious and I'd rather stay out of this company right now. GLAL
