Because of the nature of the team, I have been switching back and forth working on checking the geometry of the sed tank for cutting and preparing the fabrication for plate settlers. I have started to practice to weld as welding is important for the base plates of the sed tank and have worked on completing the jig for cutting the plate settlers. We have now split into two groups: one working on the base plates and the other working on plate settlers. From now, I will be focusing on the plate settlers.
I have mainly worked on plate settlers for the past month (and a little over). We cut all the sheets into their respective sizes and the spacers to 2.3 cm. We measured all 34 sheets and cut them twice- once with the shear using the jig that we made and another with the big shear and table saw. We created a small scale assembly of plate settlers and made sure that all 34 sheets fit into the sedimentation tank. The only thing left to do for plate settlers is to draw a centerline and drill the holes so we could fully assemble the sheets with the spacers.
