Abstract :
The building of the Isle Maligne Station in a remote section with extreme difficulties due to weather and floods, called for very careful planning and coordination of the various parts of the work. The steps in the construction of this plant are shown perhaps at rather extreme length, but this is done largely to bring out the value and importance of designing with the idea of cooperating and coordinating with the contractor or the construction forces. The design and layout of the construction plant were given as much attention on this work as the design of the powerhouse. The writer maintains and endeavors to impress upon designing and construction engineers of any large project, this very important cooperative feature. Had this not been done at the Isle Maligne Station, the great amount of work could never have been executed in the same length of time.
