[QUOTE="Profreedomokie, post: 4003653, member: 524"] Same way in the refinery. I remember once three of us saved a unit from crashing that couldn't be done today. A critical pump driven by a steam turbine shut down because the turbine had a governor bearing burned up. The spare pump was down because the motor was out to be rebuilt. One of us worked with an operator to block in the turbine while one of us started taking the turbine apart to get to the bearing. One of the guys went to the warehouse and got all the parts we would need. We had it fixed and running within 2 hours and saved the unit from crashing. Today it would be half a day just to get the work permit. Are we safer today? I don't think so because there is so much BS to deal with everyone is distracted. [/QUOTE]
