My first job was at the Centralia hydro project, it goes beyond gravel but that’s 16ft of gravel. Keep in mind those *wires* are 2inch by 12inch flat copper *wires*. A massive amount of juice goes thru that switch yard. A guy got melted wearing a full arc suit but lived due to his PPE. Our safety manager had one arm, burned completely off. The lineman in every state who handle storms are completely unsung heros.
