Congrats to the pictured group in the closing of Phases 6 & 8 of an OFCA Utilities upgrades. With these phases, multiple legacy air compressors and air receivers were removed and decommissioned to make room for future OFCA equipment that Gill’s will commission.

Tamaya successfully completed the 1st and 2nd phase of the modifications associated with the updated Annex 1 requirements. Tamaya remarkably overcame the challenges faced due to increased scope, client colleague turnover and low morale at the site. She also helped the documentation team navigate the challenges they faced.

Thanks for your hard work and dedication Tamaya!

Congrats to this crew in closing a recent change control. This CC record involved the removal and decommissioning of a 600-ton Chiller in a Building that had remained inoperable since July 2023. With the old chiller removed, the site can now prepare to bring in a replacement chiller later this month. Gill's will be commissioning the new Chiller and auxiliary equipment.

Excellent work, guys! 

Kudos to this group on the implementation of (12) new destratification fans in a client Warehouse. After Gill's had qualified the warehouse for CRT storage last year, it was discovered that there were "hot spots" adjacent to the east and west exterior walls. These fans will help provide a more uniform air distribution. 

Great job, team!

Congratulations to Luke on completing his first project from the beginning to end. The project was supposed to be an "easy" project but during the vetting process we realized additional work/documents will be needed, thus increasing the project scope. Additionally, during execution, project engineering deviated from the original plan resulting in a deviation. Luke patiently and skillfully worked with Validation and QE to quickly resolve the issues and release the product without any delays.

Great Job Luke!

Also, thanks to Tamaya for being a team player and helping and supporting Luke during execution. 

Congrats to Kristen, Mahesh, and the Lucky Charms Leprechaun for the implementation of (5) new Pinocchio Gas Samplers in the BQ Lab. This team endured two major delays/roadblocks to get this change finished—first, the vendor had to replace three of the five sampler agar plate holders (wrong size shipped ) and then it took Instrumentation an eternity to decide if the samplers would be calibrated on site or shipped offsite. 

Way to go team!

Kudos to Jake for his first time ringing the bell!!!

Jake successfully completed the qualification of the updates to the Utilities AVEVA Wonderware system. The scope of the project increased considerably at the last minute, but Jake persevered, ensured all the modifications were correctly captured and was able to release product in a timely manner.

Thanks for making it happen Jake!

Luke successfully completed and closed the qualification of the CTUs/Yokogawa and decommissioning of the Digi Recorders project. Although he inherited the project, he was quick to learn the project details, lead effective project meetings and made sure project was completed within budget (the project was started in 2024 by another colleague no longer with us).

Congratulations Vyvika and the team on successfully completing the R1 SVP Loop 2 Removal project. The project started as requiring modifications to Loop 1 but the client changed their mind to remove Loop 2 from service. Vyvika and the team worked quickly and efficiently to meet project timeline with no delays in releasing product.

Amazing Job Guys!

Congrats to this trio for implementing (22) monitoring cameras at a client site! Going forward, there are (27) more cameras being installed at the site during the August shutdown in Phase 2 of this project. The cameras will allow supervisors and auditors to view live production activities without having to gown up. Great job team!

As we were wrapping up qualification of a new warehouse, the site discovered that there was poor air circulation in one isolated section of the warehouse. After some immediate ductwork modifications, they enlisted the help of these two guys to perform a 24-hour engineering study (to confirm the issue was fixed), followed by a complete supplemental 7-day temperature mapping to provide evidence that this warehouse section was performing adequately. Over (600) additional pages of data were collected, analyzed, and summarized.

Thank you, Gene and Venu, for making time to execute this last-minute "save the day" exercise to keep the warehouse release from being delayed!
