Abstract: Early this century the New Zealand Government charged its Public Works Department to develop hydro electric power resources to meet the anticipated demand. This paper describes the challenges faced in the commissioning of the Arapuni, Waikaremoana and Waitaki schemes. It also acknowledges the role of P G Hornell a review engineer who influenced the design of all three schemes.
