Compliance training...

Consumed with the MANDATORY compliance training all week long.

Valley Guys offsite

Brian, Doug, and Vincente have finished all they could do in Unit 15. We are now waiting for more parts. Four more powerpacks have been ordered from the factory and we are waiting for them to be built & shipped out to Mira Loma/Valley. The job has come to a halt due to lack of parts. The airbox and oil pan have both been wiped clean.

Unit 15 ring replacement job

Steve and Matt from Valley Power Systems arrived last Monday (3/29/10) to start warranty work on Unit 15. The job is to replace the top two rings on every piston. Job still not complete, engine is offline thru the weekend. Justin and Matt Burch are going to replace a mini-pack today (4/3/10) in cylinder number 5.

Yesterday (4/2/10) the air box was cleaned. Jim Hinkley has been the foreman upgrade during the past week as Dave Montgomery has been upgraded to Plant Superintendent. ICE techs have been working in control panel in Unit 15 to investigate alarms. Both Matt G. and John C. left half day (unbeknownst to Dave Montgomery) leaving both apprentices representing the ICE department.
