The company I worked for installed the automated lubrication system before the station went operational. It was eerie being in the cavern knowing the reservoir was above you.
OT: Reservoir overflows

F*ck off Hucker.
What's the matter sir? Can you not answer my question? You're an engineer are you not?
Plenty do have a sort of bridge over the spillway and there arent a lot of dams that have an access road for maintenance vehicles over the top of the dam wall.
Yes, it would be stupid to have a tall tunnel in the middle of nowhere, no point in the extra cost of the longer tunnel to the dam wall although some dams do have an old bypass tunnel that was used to divert the water past the dam during the construction of the dam itself.
Doesn't work too well when its your own boat.
