An independent risk assessment by Halcrow is being arranged to evaluate the appropriateness, security and reliability of the current means by which oil is fed to the turbocharger. This will include an assessment of the operating environment, the current method of fitting the oil feed and whether the specification of the oil feed hose currently fitted is suitable for use in this environment.

It is anticipated the inspection and assessment will be completed by mid-October 2006 with the final report available by the end of November 2006.
