Setting A Brisk Pace!

Ken Berry, Project Manager reports from Durban that the work onboard the Africa Mercy continues at a brisk pace by the two main contractors and 8 or their subcontractors, all of whom are busy with piping, electrical and support systems.

The two Generator Rooms and the Main Switchboard Room are crowded with electricians, pipe fitters, welders, fire watchmen and cleaners.

Strength and tightness testing of tanks and piping systems has commenced on the portions of these systems that are now completed.

A big push is on to complete major system installation work by Christmas Day, in order that system commissioning can begin Christmas week.

As soon as all support systems are checked out and proven to be reliable, the new Generators can be started up and run thru their paces.

We are anxiously awaiting that day!
