Sunndalsøra 19520531: "Technical adventure on Sunndalsøra". The development of the industrial site Sunndalsøra - Construction work at Aura power plant, construction of the aluminum plant and the construction of housing on Sunndalsøra. Picture: High fright? Aura power plant is being developed. Machine repairer Erling Moen at Hårstad north strolls on the rails with 750 m straight down. Within this crossroads, the 16 km long main tunnel ends. Distribution pool, valve chamber, gaming houses, refusal chambers, hatch shafts and the beginning of the two piping streets plunging down the ear. One is blown up, and a powerful hoist track is mounted to tail the heavy pipes up. Finters of the main tunnel is in the process of modern machines. There are big things going on in the mountains, but from the outside one only sees the railroad tracks and locomotives coming out with the rocks and tipping stone down the mountain side. Photo: SV.
