Wilo Maintenance Event requires operators to roll up their sleeves and work together

摘要

In the Wilo Maintenance Event, teams responded to separate and simultaneous "moisture reset" failure conditions for a submersible pump and submersible mixer in adjacent, simulated, slide-rail-mounted installations. Competitors were tasked with safely removing the pump and mixer from service, performing and documenting the required service to repair the units, and placing them back into service. "In many ways the Maintenance Event is the most challenging, due to both the complexity of the event and the limited time we had to practice with the equipment," said Tim Vadney, captain of the Seacoast Sewer Snakes. Erik Bailey, captain of the VorTechs, agreed, adding that his team did not see the equipment for 4 months before the national competition.
