Half-Life: Blue Shift Hints
How do I get past the big grinding things a little ways down the canal?
1 of 4: You can't while they're intact.
2 of 4: You need to go explore elsewhere first.
3 of 4: Go do the catwalks-and-ladders area first, then go climb the big ladder that's in the shadows.
4 of 4: You'll eventually be able to push a crate full of explosives into the canal, and it will damage the grinders for you so that you can swim safely past.
