TimesInitial: 0715Final: 1115Summary of Inspection Performed:First Quality Solutions was contracted to perform an ultrasonic thickness survey on the boiler waterwalls. T he furnace water walls were visuallyinspected for general condition, and ultrasonically inspected to determine remaining wall thickness. Elevations were established from the roof (675’).Measuring down to each elevation and sandblasting a strip in which to take thickness measurements resulted in a total of 15 e levations, with thelowest being at the bottom of the lower slope (590’).T he furnace is divided into two cells by a division wall; each cell was regarded as its own unit. The front and rear walls h ave 174 tubes, the sidewallshave 186 tubes, and the division wall has 138 tubes. A mapping of the waterwall layout can be seen below.Visual and ultrasonic thickness inspections were made on every tube at each elevation. Listed below are the elevations where inspections wereperformed on each wall.Front xaminer: FQS Inspector AExaminer: FQS Inspector BA & B CellDivision WallRear 22622615615608608601601594596593590Level: IILevel: IICompany: FQSCompany: FQSSide e: 11/8/2010Date: 11/8/2010

The results of the visual and ultrasonic thickness inspections can be seen as follows, and in addition,attached are visual representations of the inspection with colored maps of the test results.Recommendations: Perform ultrasonic thickness testing at approximately the same elevations as this outage duringthe next scheduled maintenance outage.Restore all areas where walls have been bowed.Replace all tubes where pad welds were found from past repairs.Visual Inspection1.
