Work Performed Installation of new switchgear (UHA) completed. All punch list items have been addressed.

Formal training has not yet been rescheduled. Contractor has completed demobilization and

final site cleanup.

6 | P a g e

Syblon Reid performed the final work on the safety door and hatch, drilling and epoxy-setting an

eye-bolt into the concrete wall. This will be used to latch the hatch in the open position when

accessing the upper ladder.

The clamps securing the grating onto the platform frame had been ordered incorrectly (for 2-inch

deep grates). With the correct 1-inch clamps obtained, Syblon-Reid installed them on each of the

two grates, securely attaching them to the platform frames.

Wire Rope

Syblon-Reid completed the wire rope installation that was started November 30, 2017. The

existing bolts used to temporarily hold the new rope clamps on the drum were replaced with the

correctly sized, new bolts. The bolts were torqued to the manufacturer’s recommended 360 ft. lbs.

The rope drum was operated to tension the new cables and the gate was raised to its original full-

up position, releasing the tension on the temporary rigging which was then removed.

The mechanical counter was reset to 422.4 simultaneously with resetting the electronic counter to

422.1. CCAO’s operator then reinstalled the drive sprocket and belt that operates the upper and

lower limit switch component. The gate was then lowered to the bottom limit, and then cycled to

the upper limit.

The bonnet was reset over the rope drum, where workers re-bolted it into place.

Coatings

Mason Painting applied an epoxy coating to the maintenance pad eyes, including the welded

connection between the maintenance pad eyes and the control gate. Using a Bristol Blaster, he

prepared the bare steel surfaces on the maintenance pad eyes. He also performed two surface

profile tests and checked environmental conditions prior to applying coatings.

After a 24-hour cure of the epoxy coating, Mason Painting applied the UV Resistant Polyurethane

top coat to the new maintenance pad eyes. It took only a few minutes to hand-brush the coating

on each of the two new maintenance pad eyes. The material is very thin; and it was applied with

a wet thickness that will cure to a dry thickness of 2 mils or better.

Syblon Reid marked damaged galvanized surfaces in the galvanized ladders, cages, landings, and

railings. Mason Painting then prepared these surfaces for re-coating with sand paper and thinner.

A single coat of AllPro 11106 Cold Galvanizing was then spray-applied to prepared surfaces.

Work Performed The contractor, Coleman Environmental Engineering, Inc. (CEE) continues to prepare the road

foundations for 4” minus gravel placement. A grader was used to strike off top layer of wet soil

and blading it back over onto the existing road after all material had a chance to dry. A CAT 563

vibratory steel wheel roller (VSWR) was utilized to proof roll the foundation prior to placing 4”

minus base. The roadway widths were prepared to receive gravel from the belly dump trucks for

26 | P a g e

4” minus base rock form the O’Connor pit. 22 belly dump trucks were utilized each day to

deliver gravels to each roadway section. 6” lifts were placed along the various roadways to

achieve the required gravel placement thicknesses. A CAT 140H grader was utilized to spread

the gravels to the required thicknesses. Grading was them followed by VSWR to compact and

proof roll each lift. CEE’s personnel were onsite performing work for 20 days during this

period.

Approximately 18,500 tons of 4” minus gravels were placed this month to complete the

construction of the seven following roadways: A Middle Dike Rd., Pump 10 East Rd., East Rd.,

and N. 13 Rd. Roads that remain to be completed for the 4” minus placement are Pump 10,

Pump 11 and N. 13. About 90 tons remain to be placed to complete the 4” minus placement for

all remaining roadways. Approximately 5000 tons of ¾” minus gravels were placed atop the 4”

minus material base gravels.

The monthly joint safety policy meeting was held during this period in addition to two weekly

safety meetings which were also held by the contractor.

removed both the containment and the scaffolding surrounding the fish lock elevator. DPC with

PEC installed the fish lock hoist. Reclamation operated the hoist with the attached fish lock

elevator through a few cycles without incident. DPC staged equipment no longer in use at

Marble Bluff Dam’s staging area west of the Fish Facility Building. PEC removed existing

panels DFBA and LFBP. They also removed motor starters for Marble Bluff Dam’s Dope Tank,

Turbine Pump, Auxiliary Turbine Pump and the Air Compressor. PEC installed new panels

DFBA and LFBP and motor starter panels for the Dope Tank, Turbine Pump, and Auxiliary

Turbine Pump to replace existing. They also installed a 15-kVA transformer panel between

panels DFBA and LFBP. They also installed new stainless-steel raceways and new ¾-inch rigid

conduit. PEC completed insulation resistance tests of wires between new panels and existing

equipment. They also confirmed the correct phase rotation for each of the existing motors fed

from new panels.

Work Performed Subcontractor Metrology Services was on site checking verticality and roundness of the stator

core. Using a FARO laser, the technician programed unit centerline coordinates from previously

established monuments beneath the core. Once programed the technician shot the core in 24

41 | P a g e

locations equally spaced around the circumference. One shot was taken at the top and bottom of

the core slots.

With acceptance of the roundness and verticality of the stator core the Voith crew began

installation of the armature winding, completing installation of all 432 bottom Roebel bars and

approximately 300 of 432 top bars prior to Christmas break. Each of the bars installed were

wrapped with conductive paper with a layer of conductive putty on the inside of the paper as it is

wrapped around each bar on three sides. The putty is applied with a grooved trowel. The bars

are inserting into their slots by hand and temporarily wedged in place until secured with lashing

to the surge rings on the upper and lower ends.

The crew was able to secure the bottom bars to the rings with epoxy saturated fiberglass cord as

they were tested and accepted and installed before the top bars were started.

During the early part of the month as fill in work, Voith crew members cleaned rotor fan

components with a mild household cleaner removing built-up oil and break dust.

The thrust bearing high pressure lift pump was mounted on the exterior of the unit air housing

and electrical conduits run from the pump’s starter to the Generator ‘A’ box.

A unilateral modification was issued to Voith in November for their rotor pole refurbishment

contractor to investigate obvious arc burns on the amortisseur windings. Representatives from

Voith engineering and the Bureau’s Denver Technical Service Center met at the refurbishment

facility (Delstar) in Montreal, Canada.

The result from dissecting the windings showed the through rods were loose and may have

contributed to the issue.

Unilateral direction was then issued in December for the facility to replace 30 top and 30 bottom

laminations on each of the 36 rotor poles and to peen the five rods connecting the top and bottom

shorting bars of the amortisseur winding.
