well, I can't give too much away cause of the nature of where I work, but the engines are massive, so much so they have a building of their own, a pair of air compressors each to fill the starting tanks.

They are pretty much ship engines, without looking through any books, I can't tell you about any sizes or anything unfortunately.

They're used as generators and they kick out enough power to power all the sites essential systems in case of a blackout or loss of power from the grid.


Actually, come to think about it, they're twin turbo V16's I think, individual cylinder heads.
2 Storey's tall and have a walkway eitherside to gain access to the tops.
