Ok.Now lets move on to the 2nd week of work.
Day 1:
I helped to set up a database to track the receiving of Operation and Maintanence (O&M) manuals. For your info, every single equipments and hardware used in a project do come with a very very thick and detailed O&M manual. Monday is usually a "not-tat-busy" day, as our week starts on Tuesday. Tuesday is the day when all the supervisors report the site progress. After site progress meeting, each and every single one will have their share of work to tackle, problems to troubleshoot.
Day 2:
The consortium invited PB and PS to inspect the pigging process for steam line. According to the consortium, yup, the steamline is pretty clean. Went down to the site to inspect the real situation using a boroscope (A snake-like-wire with a camera-equipped head). Haha....Just like how doctors put those small camera through your mouth into your stomach, we have a similar equipment to inspect the inner condition of pipelines. Well, as usual, weekly site progresss meeting in the afternoon. Things look fine. No big issues.
Day 3:
We received a report on the existing fire fighting hose being obstruct by the newly built pipe bridge. Thus, we went down to check out the real situation. Indeed,this cause fire fighting obstruction. Meeting is arranged to be held on Friday between the related parties.
Day 4:
I supposed to read up on the method statement on cooling water intake culvert system. Yep. This is to ensure that the work is being done according to the method stated. Didnt know that each work requires a method statement..whoooo
Day 5:
Went for the meeting on fire fighting obstruction. The initial plan is to extend the existing platform, with columns and steel bars forming the support for the platform. Interesting enough, such primitive way actually, or probably works(I didnt think that this idea requires a lot of knowledge). However, engineering calculation is still needed. AHA...accept the fact. Engineers cant run away from MATHEMATICS. Oh.again, it is FRIDAY. Yup, FRIDAY is supposed to be special, eg. T-shirt day, party day. We went out for lunch and bought fruits fruits and fruits for our afternoon tea cum fruits party. Mangosteen, Mango, Rambutan -- Awesome!
tats all for the 2nd week!
Signing off.
Adios
