Business as usual II
The call-out didn't come at 3AM Sunday morning as predicted, but at noon the previous day. Frost damage had shattered many pipes, several pumps were air-locked, and there were unexpected foreign bodies in the feed which were causing blockages-and of course the buffer tanks were completely full at both sites, and the generators, instrumentation and SCADA system were also misbehaving.
It took half a day to patch things up, clear the blockages and airlocks, and get both plants running at top speed again to shift the melt-water.
