After the normal site inductions took place, I was free to survey the site and assess what was appropriate for the Bath and Lehr Heating system that had been serving the C4 plant for some 15 years. My first impression was that the site was tremendously clean in spite of the mass of construction work; a credit to those working at the site. 

It became clear that a total cable and equipment disassembly was required to check, test, and judge how much of the existing cabling, transformers and secondary cabling could be re-used. It was a task for more than just one man and the client’s team helped with the disassembly—even still, I was aching the next day from using muscles I never knew I had!

At one point, I thought someone must have switched the furnace on, it was so hot—but on the contrary, it was just a normal day in Barra Velha!
