STATEMENT OF WORK Exhaust Shielding-revised.docx

Statement of Work (SOW) For Caterpillar Engine Shielding Parts

1.0 Background

Ship’s Force (S/F) discovered degraded exhaust shielding on the Ship Service Diesel Generator (SSDG) exhaust manifolds. The required heat shields are not available in the standard stock system. The current shielding has degraded heat resistance capabilities and entrained oil, which constitutes a significant fire hazard. With exhaust temperatures reaching approximately 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit, the current condition poses a high-risk of burn injuries to personnel and secondary damage to equipment.

2.0 Scope
