Projected Schedule WF Contract Req. Completion: 4 Oct 2012. Pending mods will push CRC to approx 26 Feb 2013 OZ Contract Req. Completion: April 20, 2014. Projected mods will push CRC to approx 19 Jul 2014 Work on two units simultaneously at Ozark has reduced the total contract time by three years. Potential opportunities to reduce project completion date by 1 year at each site by early turnover of OZ U5 and WF U2 as shown in the above schedule (requires customer approval). Performing stay vane crack repair concurrent with disassembly saves from 2-3 months per unit. Disassembly of the turbine has been reduced from 4.5 months (WF Unit 3) to 2.5 months (WF Unit 1 and OZ Unit 3). In-place machining of embedded wicket gate assembly mounting flanges has reduced wicket gate filing time by 6 weeks per unit.
Schedule Cont. Each successive unit will have a reduced duration through application of lessons learned, utilization of the schedule, and better visibility of potential differing site conditions as shown below in order of completion at each plant. Ozark OZ Unit 4 required approximately 56 months through completion of 72 hour test OZ Unit 2 will take approximately 43 months through completion of 72 hour test OZ Unit 3 will take approximately 27 months through completion of 72 hour test OZ Unit 1 will take approximately 20 months through completion of 72 hour test OZ Unit 5 will take approximately 21 months through completion of 72 hour test (includes additional speed increaser work not included on other units) Webbers Falls WF Unit 3 required approximately 43 months through completion of 72 hour test WF Unit 1 will take approximately 23 months through completion of 72 hour test WF Unit 2 will take approximately 20 months through completion of 72 hour test
Webbers Falls Unit 1 Speed Increaser A chipped tooth on a low speed pinion and multiple cracks on the low speed gear were found during inspection of the speed increaser. Deficiencies required replacement of the low speed gear set. Replacement occurred off of the critical path so no additional time was added to the contract.
Contract was modified to add a vinyl paint coating system to the series 400 stainless steel. First three units were painted after installation but remaining unit components will be painted off site to remove this work from the critical path. Corrosion The cathodic protection system is being recommissioned following the completion of painting. Adjustments to the protection potential will continue until corrosion is stopped. Changes to WF Unit 3 have shown much improved protection.
Stay Vane Crack Repair Performing stay vane crack repair concurrent with disassembly saves from 2-3 months per unit.
Improve Method of Scrapping Old Runner Improved process for removal of runner has reduced this activity duration from 4 weeks per unit to 1 day per unit.
Remove Wicket Gate Assembly Before Lower Shaft Initial units were disassembled with the lower shaft being removed prior to the wicket gate assembly. Due to the long duration to repair and reassemble the wicket gate assembly the removal of the assembly is now being accomplished prior to removal of the lower shaft which allows more time for the repair process on these components.
Machining Embedded Flanges Machining the embedded gate barrel mounting flanges reduced the wicket gate filing time by 6 weeks per unit.
Wicket Gate filing Initial units required the governor to be operational prior to start of wicket gate filing making this a critical path activity. Contractor is now utilizing a portable hydraulic power unit allowing the gates to be filed prior to completion of the governor. This allows the wicket gate filing to be removed from the critical path which reduced the unit duration by 6 weeks.
Goals Reduce installation time for each successive unit. Limit turnover of personnel. Resolve non-controversial outstanding issues, Ozark Unit 4 and Webbers Falls Unit 3. Resolve controversial outstanding issues, corrosion repair and wicket gate filing. Maintain outstanding partnering relationship.
Key Challenges Timely response and negotiation of RFPs. Resolution of Cathodic Protection System issues. Resolution of Oil Head Design issues. Proposal for new governors at Ozark. Removing silt from Ozark Unit 1. Rewind Webbers Unit 1 generator. Contracting for new gears for Ozark Unit 5 speed increaser. Improving communications between Operations, E&C construction office, and contractor.
