Following one of the wettest Cumbrian summers in 30 years and after some delays to the programme, the Archimedes screw has been fitted into the Powerhouse. This is a significant milestone in the project and the team have all worked extra hard to make sure the infrastructure was ready before our permit to work in the river ran out. After all the rain, it was a bright sunny day when the crane and screw arrived on site.
