Day 14....Tip grinding and Shell installation



Its a saturday... Overtime pay day today! Its ironic that no one wants to work! We only had a crew of 8 ppls from 7am to 3pm... and from 3-7pm it was just the vendors and myself! The vendors set up their compressor tip grinding machine which is like a belt sander to shave a few mills off the tips of R13-R15 blades. This will allow thermal expansion and avoid rubbing the casing. We started putting shrouds and nozzles on the upper half turbine casing.. still needs to complete the installation of the 2nd stage nozzles. Guess they left some items for the night shift to complete!
We'll see how many ppls show for tomorrow!
