62m high?Do you mean 62m long?That's a little over 200ft,and you can see in the video that it is not that high,and the diameter is only 5m,so it would be about 8 or 9m high.

This is correct, because the vessel is vertical when installed. It is 62 m tall

Right on, love seeing this baby travelling. I spent two months heat treating this vessel in Saskatoon, it's huge!

Big Business has all the controls and Government regulates thier needs and this make for local decision makers a cayous structure. This is mega project is on Cree, Dene and Slavey Terrritory, to name a few Indigenous Nations effected by this project on a daily basis. Industrial Generating Companies need to regulated by the people most effected by their endless greed for control.
