DIA is looking to add more "bells and whistles" to its warning system so workers will be properly alerted to a problem at a pump station

You should have thought of that ahead of time Dancin_in_Anson

It's like the River of Slime (TM) in Ghostbusters 2, only... far more unsettling.

"Rivers.....of.....shiat."
 
2010-03-20 08:09:20 PM
This seemed appropriate:

River of shiat
River of shiat
Flow on, flow on, river of shiat
Right from my toes
On up to my nose
Flow on, flow on, river of shiat
I've been swimming
In this river of shiat
More than 20 years
And I'm getting tired of it
Don't like swimming
Hope it'll run dry
Got to go on swimming
Cause I don't want to die
Spoken:
Oh I can feel another 1000 years
Of the flapjacks of Sorrow! Unless!
Unless we make 2000 A.D.! 2000 A.D.
Our glorious deadline
A glorious deadline to make the
World a better place!
Or else the flapjacks of sorrow
Are going to slide down our throats
Slide down our throats
For another millenium
Of pain and war and oppression
And all our children's children's children's
Children's children children
Shall have to wade and to swim
In the same grim river
In which we now swim
Sing along with us
Sing sing sing sing sing sing sing sing!
(Repeat first verse)

Sounds like some crappy SCADA programming. Should have have added an auto-dialer to head of maintenance for high-high level indication or all pump status fail.

There is a lot of weird things happening at the Denver Airport.

from TFA:
"Barr Lake, an irrigation reservoir that sometimes drains completely in dry summers, is the centerpiece of a state park, a wildlife area and is heavily used by anglers, boaters and kayakers.

The lake is home to catfish, small and large-mouth bass, rainbow trout, walleye, bluegill, wiper and tiger muskie and other fish species, as well as more than 350 species of birds, including the bald eagle"


How is 'lake' that regularly 'drains completely dry' used heavily by anglers? How is such an inconsistent body of water home to ANY species of fish???

flaming99: How is 'lake' that regularly 'drains completely dry' used heavily by anglers? How is such an inconsistent body of water home to ANY species of fish???

I suppose they stock the "lake".

That and I think Catfish are on the cusp of evolving into a land animal in the not too distant future and probably just chill in the mud until levels go back up.

This story reminds me of the "camper-incident of 83'" a couple of us teen buddies precipitated completely unintentionally.

Not to this scale exactly but a chilling experience none the less.

FTA: Tuesday's failure, which occurred about 7 p.m., went undetected until Wednesday morning, allowing as much as 330,000 gallons of untreated sewage and industrial wastewater to flow into creeks and canals that head toward the Barr Lake fishery and bird sanctuary...

...The lake is home to catfish, small and large-mouth bass, rainbow trout, walleye, bluegill, wiper and tiger muskie and other fish species, as well as more than 350 species of birds, including the bald eagle.


Now being stocked with brown trout.

"The speaker was disabled; there was no audible alarm," Day said. "We're trying to find out what happened."

Try checking if the speaker was disabled.

At a mid-day State of DIA luncheon in downtown Denver, airport manager Kim Day said a device in DIA's maintenance control center that should broadcast an audible alarm in the event of a pump station problem was inexplicably turned down so the alarm could not be heard by workers.

"The speaker was disabled; there was no audible alarm," Day said. "We're trying to find out what happened."


My guess?:
"Hey, this thing's making a lot of noise."
"Just turn it off, then."
"Okay."

As the article mentioned adding more "bells and whistles"; That really isn't going to help if the employees can turn them ... off.

It's a fairly common surname. It looks like it's an unfortunate coincidence.

Belegur: Sounds like some crappy SCADA programming. Should have have added an auto-dialer to head of maintenance for high-high level indication or all pump status fail.

I bet it was there, and disconnected by the owner. My record for fastest auto dialer disconnect was three hours - apparently the plant operators didn't enjoy being called every time a well kicked on/off, and took a wire clipper to the phone line... After it was re hooked, they simply turned off their phones beginning of shift. So supervision insisted they get added to the call list. A few nights of the general manager being called at 3am because a well kicked off as a plant did a backwash (normal), then kicked on 45 min later (normal), and they finally decided the darn thing should only bother anyone if there was a failure, or something major going on. Then the radio system started flaking out and they'd get 20 calls a shift about communications going in/out...

I have another customer who insists on a feeper alarm on every RTU panel, yet the very first thing they do once it's installed and tested...

What crappy lift station manages to lose all its pumps anyway? Bet one broke, so they ran on the others, then another broke...

Or they use Flygt pumps.

That sounds like one sick individual. I for one would not want feepage to occur when an alarm comes in.

Nah, sick is it's all antique Modicon 984s. Always fun trying to locate parts for a PLC that was last made when the WTC was still standing...

Everything is brown, not white towards the end of winter.

Hopefully things get a little green soon as spring begins.

You'd think so, but you'd probably think the same about someone called Mary Semen (new window).

Some people just have incredibly unfortunate names.

If your name was "Mr. Gay" in junior high you'd probably have to quit.
