EGD used to align and place the caissons at stop No. 2 were damaged during a routing caisson placement in 2020. The southeast side fairlead sheave arm broke off during loading. The EGD Operations team secured the fairlead but noted after inspection that there is evidence of microscopic pre-existing cracking that could be seen. All fairleads were inspected and although damage was found around the exterior of the sheave arms, the remaining fairleads are operationally satisfactory. EGD is requesting for 12 new fairleads as the current ones have reached the end of their service life. EGD would like to standardize all fairleads with the more modern closed sheave arm units.
