I agree they must have been in the middle of a routine shut down- although when our plant recieves new valves , they are wrapped and capped, so its possible this was a new valve slated to be installed.

That place was no place for children
Boiler 1220 I think I know u

Thanks Mr. Motts for an interesting new gallery. I look forward to the next one!!!
