Abstract

This paper discusses a number of unusual features of the Snowy Mountains area and how these affect design and construction. Satisfactory solutions to problems arising from these features and the nature of the several projects of the Snowy Mountains Scheme have been reached by the assistance of the Scientific Services of the Snowy Mountains Hydro-electric Authority and other organizations working in co-operation. The facilities available to the Authority are described, and typical problems are discussed in the fields of hydraulics, concrete, soil mechanics, engineering physics, metallurgy and soil conservation. Some details of the Authority's in-service training courses are also given.
