1. The present power generating plant. These are old Caterpillar generating assemblies that no longer function.
2. The present “switch yard” for the entire Easter Island. Obviously, complete revamping needs to take place.
3. The present plant being used for the Island, which generates 800 KW. It is insufficient and is always braking down.
4. Housing mounds during the “Orongo, a place of rituals.” The entrances were small enough for one person at a time to enter, about 18“ X 18“. If it was an enemy, he would be attacked by those inside before he even got upright.
