Dismantling Vølund Senior:

Since Vølund Senior has arrived to Esbjerg it had its place in one of the small buildings so the team could work with the roller not disturbing the production. The first big task was dismantling and registration of the roller. Unfortunately we have no drawings, therefore it is important that the dismantling is recorded.

Click the pictures to see them in full size.

The left side of the tender before dismantling, then we can see how it was. Preben and Gerhard are planning the next move in the dismantling process. Egon P. is straightening a rod for the scarifier. Unfortunately Egon P. later found out that it should have a bend!
Egon M. and Gerhard have just dismantled the worm for the steering chain. All pieces are marked with labels ready for cleaning and restoration.
The dismantling is nearly finished.
The other staff at Vølund is watching the project. Here we see some of them beside the boiler.
The boiler is dismantled and ready for wall thickness measurements of the different parts. Nearly all are OK. The front hole plate is too thin which also is the case for a part of the flange in the bottom. The hole plate in the fire box is pretty worn between the tubes.
