UNICAT

Monday May 26 I held a meeting with the leader of UNICAT to study the solutions to repair the damage of the cell and to complete various work of improvement. The day after in the morning I received an offer which I studied. At the end of the morning I decided to give the realization of work to UNICAT. The realization of the new fastener and its installation were free of charge. Work was to be completed mid-July. Beforehand I had obtained proposals for two other companies in Austria and in Germany.
