| Work is progressing on the boiler at Grosmont MPD. The
new stays are being installed and at the same time we are carrying out a
full retube. The first set of tubes delivered were found not to be
suitable and we are currently waiting for replacements to arrive. Whilst
the boiler is stripped down we are taking the opportunity to have the
boiler approved by Resco whilst they are at Grosmont inspecting 6619,
80135 and the K1. |
