Teck Waiting for Furnace to Cool to Inspect Damage MoneySense.ca
VANCOUVER, British Columbia (Reuters) - A survey of damage caused by an explosion at Teck Cominco Ltd.'s Trail, British Columbia, lead facility may not get under way until the weekend, a spokeswoman said on Thursday.
Crews were waiting for the furnace area of the lead processing facility too cool enough for them to get inside, and the initial results of the investigation are not expected until early next week, Carol Vanelli said.
The cause of Monday's explosion remains unknown, but the company believes it occurred inside the Kivcet furnace. As the blast force exited the furnace it damaged a boiler system that generates steam from waste heat.
A union official told Trail's newspaper that there was extensive visible damage to the boiler, with bent steam lines and I-beams.------------------------------------------- posted 7:27 PM :: reference link ::
