Located in the nordic region of northwestern Quebec is the $16 billion La Grande River hydroelectric power development complex. On completion, the installed capacity will total 10,190 MW with an anticipated annual production of 68 billion kW-hr. The heart of this complex is LG-2, which includes the world's largest underground powerhouse. Such an undertaking presents formidable problems in organization, logistics, contract administration, and construction techniques. To date these problems have been dealt with successfully. How this was accomplished is described.
