NORSKE SKOG RECEIVES REPAIRS DURING COVID LOCKDOWN

During the second week of alert level 4, our Hamilton Manager was called out to a breakdown at Norske Skog. The main plant instrument air dryer, as the instrument dew point had plummeted. Tested after-cooler, bleed off cooler/intercoolers in place, and found aftercooler was leaking badly. GCL removed the cooler and took it back to the Hamilton workshop to test and repair if possible. Repair was completed.

One of the company owners drove to Hamilton to pick up the repaired cooler and delivered it to the site in Kawerau. Met 2 more of the GCL techs, who completed the installation of the cooler. Completed tests to make sure all was operational and all running ok. Had the customer back up and running in a matter of days – saved the cost of flying an aftercooler in from Germany.
