A. Pump Inspection and Assessment
• Remove the two turbine pumps and motors and transport to an approved facility for
teardown and detailed assessment.
• Inspect pump components including: engine/motor, impeller, shaft, bearings, stuffing boxes,
bowls, seals, and couplings.
• Provide written findings, including recommendations for repair, replacement, or re-use of
components.
