Developed and tested the new freeze sealing method for maintenance of tended units in Kings Bay, thus reducing the manning requirements by 1 member per shift, and reducing the setup time for freeze sealing evolutions by 10 hours, allowing for short notice work that would not otherwise be possible. This new method provides greater flexibility for the limited manning in Kings Bay and supports an increased work load demanded by an aging fleet.
