External view of Manapouri Powerstation and Lake Manapouri.

At the top you can see the switchyard, and the pylons supporting the 220kV high-voltage cable span across the lake.

Below the switchyard at lake level are the seven head-gates that allow engineers to de-water the generation units so that they can perform engineering work. Behind the head-gates are the penstocks - tunnels in the rock that decend vertically some 200 metres to the power hall below. Infront of the head-gates you can see a log-boom that prevents debris being swept into the turbines.

In the distance, below the transmission cables you can see the station control building.
