0607 - Summary/Objective
0608 -
060801 - Follow up ref SDS 6 0000.
060802 -
060803 - Entered a broader explanation of our discussion relating to contract
060804 - management, and the scope of the problem presented by the speed
060805 - increaser.
060806 -
060807 - The structural support bolting details are not apparent from Voith's
060808 - and/or Tudor's drawings.
060809 -
060810 - So far it is not apparent how the speed increaser was to be supported.
060811 -
060812 -      [On 911028 found bolting schematic ideas, but no specific design.
060813 -      ref SDS 7 0026]
060814 -
060815 - This became an issue because the speed increaser was "noisy," reported
060816 - on 911005. ref SDS 1 3088 and reviewed on 911010. ref SDS 2 0388
060817 - Voith evidently made field modifications, but the record of same and
060818 - whether it is adequate is not clear.
060819 -
060820 - Sent Sarah informational memo on this record, and the discussion we
060821 - had yesterday, ref SDS 6.
060822 -
060823 -     In the meantime, I am working Sletten backcharge claims to
060824 -     Voith, per Sarah's request.

0611 - Voith-Renk drawings
0612 - Tudor file series 00730-11257
0613 -
061301 - Detailed research on the structural support design and bolting
061302 - configuration shown in Voith's (Renk's) drawings in Tudor's files:
061303 -
061304 -     Voith's (Renk's) drawings do not show how the Speed Increaser is
061305 -     supported (see for example drawing 3200557/0)
061306 -
061307 -     There are a number of drawings with details that seem to indicate
061308 -     the possibility of bolting to some structural member of the power-
061309 -     house, but there is no definitive detail showing this.
061310 -
061311 -      [On 911028 found bolting schematic ideas, but no specific design.

0617 -
061701 - I reviewed these briefly, but could see no indication of what was to
061702 - be constructed on this point.
061703 -
061704 - There may have been some drawings in change orders 3 or 4 which cover
061705 - this point.  Possibly the DNRC master set of contract drawings has the
061706 - answer.
061707 -
061708 - The history on this and all other defects needs to be captured and
061709 - identified with respect to contract requirements.  I called for Norm
061710 - Barnard.  Gretta said he went to the SDWA office, I called but no one
061711 - answered.  I called for Jeff to find out what he remembers about how
061712 - the speed increaser was to be supported.
061713 -
061714 - Will call Norm and Jeff again on Monday.
