Was Sir Adam Beck Power Station 1921 446mw #1, 1954 1.5gw #2 and 1956 174mw Pump Storage by Niagara River

This should have been published in the Towns and Nature blog, so it got moved there so I can more easily find it the next time I look. And so that references to these notes are to the correct blog.

If you got sent here for any of these photos, please go to "Niagara Falls, ON: Sir Adam Beck Power Station 1921 446mw #1, 1954 1.5gw #2 and 1956 174mw Pump Storage by Niagara River"

Sir Adam Beck #2 was built in phases. [NiagaraFallsInfo_station2]

Generators: Units 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17 went into service in 1954.

Generators: Units 18, 19, 20, 21 and 22 went into service in 1955.

Generators: Units 23 and 24 went into service in 1957.

Generators: Units 25 and 26 went into service in 1958.

Sir Adam Beck #1 taught me that the date of the first phase is used to date the power station. Originally, the generators were 25hz instead of 60hz. [NiagaraFallsInfo_station1]

Generators: Units #1, #2 and # 4 went in service on 26 January 1922.

Generators: Unit #5 went into service in 1923.

Generators: Units #3, #6 and # 7 went into service in 1924.

Generators: Units # 8 and #9 went into service on December 5th 1925.

Generators: Unit #10 went into service in July of 1930.

A hydro canal was dug for #1, but #2 uses two 14m (46') tunnels to carry the water from upstream of the falls. [NiagaraFallsInfo_station2]

I think the inlet for the tunnels are in this bay

The third tunnel increased the capacity by 194mw. [EnergyTariffExperts]

Big Becky, the world's largest tunnel boring machine.
[I hate it when organizations delete a webpage about a project after the project is complete. I want to find the date and size of the "world's largest TBM" claim. I know that a really big one was used in Seattle. (And it had a lot of trouble digging the tunnel.)
The diameter is 14.4m (47') and it drilled from Sep 1, 2006 [SiteSelection] to May 13, 2011 [4:02 video]
I think the key is to add the adjective "hard rock" to TBM for the claim of largest. [power-technology]]
