At unit #3* Salea-Brosius completed the refractory design requirements at the charge end of the furnace. All piping for this furnace was also completed. Progress is continuing on remaining insulation work and painting. The extractor doors will be ready for operation as soon as new sprockets are received at the job site. Components were pre viously taken from the #3 doors and used to repair damaged doors at furnace #1. The Worthington rework requirements are in progress at the induced draft and forced draft fans and the insulation portion has now been completed. The malfunctioning governor for the #3 forced draft fan has not been returned from the factory where it was sent for rework. Boil out and start-up of unit #3 is expected after completion of the modification work at the fans. Eighteen KE pipefitters continued with remaining piping requirements in the hot strip mill. Punch list items were worked on in the finisher area a3 well as additional work order requirements for the fire protec tion system, additional service drops on the air system and rerouting of drains, water coolers and some steam piping in the bag houses.
