Project Description
Quarles & Brady
engaged Energy Associates and Metal Forensics as consultants to advise and assist
in their representation of Salt River Project (SRP) in connection with a
dispute by SRP against BRUKS Rockwood/Rockwood Materials Handling. Case No. 2:2013cv01519 was filed by SRP on
July 26, 2013 in Arizona District Court for Breach of Contract.
The coal handling system
for Unit No. 4 has two (2) radial stacker/scraper reclaimers, which were
experience operating problems and component failures. The scraper reclaimer of one machine is seen
above/left. The general arrangement of
the system is seen below.
Energy Associates examined design drawings and other technical
data, visited the Springerville Station to view this equipment and interviewed
operating/maintenance personnel, and observed the equipment in the operating
mode. Initial observations on the
available information and a list of additional documents to be provided by
BRUKS were prepared. Follow-up tasks
after the site visit included a teleconference call to confirm field
observations and assessments. This
dispute was settled by the parties themselves on October 13, 2014.
