During August, the second month from the beginning of works on revitalization of the unit TENT A-3, all planned activities continued to take place per specified schedule, with strict adherence to set deadlines, which confirms that not only ​​a good choice of companies that are engaged in the execution of these works is made, but also that one such complex project is skilfully led thanks to the previous experience on similar works in previous years, said Mihailo Nikolic, director of the revitalization project, unit A-3, at the meeting held between the management of CE TENT with contractors at the end of August.

Within monthly report on activities performed in August of this year, submitted by the leaders of LOTS of this project, it was also noted that, during this period, an insignificant number of injuries was reported (three visits to the clinic and a relatively minor injury), which is ten times less than in comparison with previous overhauls, and it confirms that necessary measures for increased safety and protection of workers at the construction site, where such complex tasks are executed, are applied. Also, financial obligations, it is said, correspond to the established work schedule. Of the total value of signed contracts amounting to more than 72 million EUR, more than 43 million has been paid so far; by the end of 2014, slightly more than 20 million remains to be paid, while more than eight and a half million euros will be transferred in 2015.

In this period, preparations for the start of the second phase of dismantling of generator corset are completed (LOT-3), including disassembly of transmission line rope phase 4 DV263A, mounting of a protective scaffolding over block transformer 3AT, complete freeing of generator stator from turbo table and auxiliary installations. Inside the machine hall, supporting steel bridge was mounted for lifting of the stator and separation of the outer casing of generator. Mobile platform was mounted as well for lifting and translatory displacement of existing and new corset that is transferred from the place of unloading to unit transformer three.

Since the beginning of the overhaul, within insulation works, dismantling of 16,843 square meters of insulation was executed, which amounts to 84.64 percent of total contracted amount for works. Within overhaul activities, 17,500 square meters of scaffolding was mounted, which amounts to 28 percent of total contracted amount.

In the upcoming period, among other activities, the lifting of the stator and separation of three-part outer casing was planned, lifting of new corset to the elevation of 9 meters in the machine hall and its assembly with existing components of the outer stator casing.
