Day 26 of the Debmar Atlantic 2024 Project - Firedamper rebuilt, final stocks arrive.
A wonderful view greeted me on Thursday and even though I felt rather overwhelmed with the amount of outstanding work I had to sort out, I took cognisance of the fact that I have been here before many times.
I have been at deadlines before and I have won out on it.
The main skill to learn is to get methodical. Make a list of outstanding items and just get them done one by one. Order them in a sequence that makes sense in terms of availability and turn around time and then just proceed.
Once objectives are completed, people are less likely to be angry about 100% completion not being achieved on time when you managed to get 95% done on time.
This Fire Damper was a 10 working day or 2 weeks from order item and then we could not get it fitted.
Me being clever enough to deconstruct and reconstruct the damper was a big win!
This is another item that was for the last minute.
Cooling valves have been on order since Day 1 and would only arrive on Day 27!!!
So here I am measuring on Day 26 of me being on site to see if the new valve will fit or if the piping would need to change!!! Nobody told me about that!
However, the new valves are the exact same size as the old ones. 56mm from flange face to flange face.
Here is another finding on the 95% completion mark. That fire damper was supplied with 230V actuators... the system it is replacing runs on 24V!
This will need to be swapped out.
And this is a tired Zak in the plantroom... I need a haircut and a trim on my beard...
Cheers!
