Sealand Renovation Update 3

We have just had a very busy month of work in Sealand.  All glazing is now completed.  Our replacement generator is about to be shipped and all the fire debris has been removed. 

The hardest part of this task was to remove the destroyed generators from the burnt out remains of the generator shed and dispose of them. 

Before this could be done all oil and fuel contaminants had to be removed.  This involved a month of painful and dirty work, washing out the insides of the engines and capturing the contaminants in specially created containers. 

Once this was completed a team of brave and hardy engineers and volunteers manually dragged 1.3 tonnes of generator from one end of Sealand to the other, around 2 very tight corners, over the 2 foot deck rail to position it under Sealands main lift winch. 

Then things became difficult!

The generator, then had to be carefully lowered from the platform.

A special thank you goes out to all our fearless crew!

To mark this occasion we have had a commemorative T-Shirt made, which will be on sale soon.  All proceeds will be going to the Sealand renovation fund and the first 50 purchasers will be entered into a draw to spend the weekend in Sealand with members of our engineering team. 

Keep your eyes open for further updates.
