Good morning Chief Ryman,
Here’s the update you asked for.
We didn’t make the 10th because the tech that was working on it had to quarantine.
He is back to work now and is moving things along nicely.
He was in the middle of repairing some pump valves when he had to quarantine and due to the complexity of the plumbing arrangement Pierce used (it is bad) I didn’t want another tech to try to figure out how to get it back together.
Currently he is working on reassembling the foam system after repair and will be moving to removal of the front intake piping. This piping had a hole rubbed through it and would not have drafted well, if at all.
Pierce didn’t make this job easy either, but we will get it apart and we expect that we can have it repaired.
I can’t speak for the welding shop we use to repair things like this, but they usually turn things around in a couple days. When it come to piping that can be pressurized I like to make sure it gets repaired and pressure checked rather than just weld it up here at the shop.
My hope is to have the unit back in quarters by Friday 4/24
