BC Hydro has recently completed construction of a replacement power plant at Stave Falls, near Mission, British Columbia. Two new power tunnels were constn1cted to carry water from the intake to the new powerhouse. The crown, walls, and invert of the power tunnels were fully lined with steel fiber-reinforced shotcretc for the primary purÂpose of reducing the hydraulic roughness of the drill and blast tunnel surfaces. Shotcrete was also used for the geometric transition from the horseshoe-shaped, shotcrete-lined tunnel to the circular steel lining.
