  1. Machine-hall excavation, with minor fault A cutting across roof of the pilot tunnel.
  2. Spalling granite in the wall of crosscut between the pilot tunnel and abutment drive.
  3. Downstream wall of the machine hall. Granite mostly broken along fresh fractures A persistent joint of set b forms the flat face.
  4. Penstock tunnel, showing gently dipping presistent fracture zone D and steeply dipping joints of set b
