Tuesday November 16th 2010


Hello Bloggers,
Today we have some more updates for you.
We have been at Volksrust Waste water Treatment W0rks (WwTW) most of the day and Mark, Marcel and Christophe have been working very hard to get the hardware for the MIS installed.  We had a problem as there were no cable runs in place, and the guys on site had to dig two trenches with pick axes and shovels.  The trenches were completed and we were able to get the cables installed.  We even have a picture of Christophe shoveling some dirt – he was doing real work that time!!!


Nikki spent a lot of time going around the site and looking at the process.  The percolating filters had blocked holes and so she was clearing them out – she was also doing some proper work too! You can see that on the picture where she is cleaning the rubbish the guys made. She also visited Wakkerstroom WwTW with Stean, also to look at the process.  They have some problems at many sites, some that need a lot of money to fix and some that need a small amount and some operational effort.  It is difficult to get all the people together to understand a way forward, this will take time.

Marcel was busy with the communications.  He bought a new phone to help him out and then dropped the plc on it and broke it.  You can see that we have all been having fun and doing our work.

Mark is also having a good time and is making sure that we are all putting out our shoes tonight for Sinterklaas and zwarte piet.  We have also left sweets for their horse.
We have a nice place to stay and have also found a good place to eat. The ducks and other animals are good to look at and also make us laugh.  We are feeling a lot more positive and there is a good vibe and energy to the team. 
See you later.

Sinterklaas and zwarte piet
