I'm the only management on site today so when they needed the proper placement of the lifting hole I had to drill it. It was made from my drawing so I knew the steel placement.
Plus, yeah, I'm sure they weren't upset that I had to go straddle a big piece of concrete in a dress.

16 Missing in Chinese Expressway Tunnel Cave-In
"Chinese state media say 16 people are missing following the cave-in of a highway tunnel under construction in the country's southeast.
The Xinhua News Agency said Monday that rescuers are searching for those trapped in the collapse Sunday night near the city of Ganzhou in Jiangxi province. The tunnel is part of a 3,429-kilometer-long (2,130-mile-long) expressway running almost the entire length of country from north to south."

That's by design, not accident. Steady work for the workers, keeps them from sitting around unemployed and starting to blame all their troubles on The Party.

What is being built on that permafrost?
Now if the World Trade center fell sideways that would have created more jobs.

What the hell is that? Is that a scraper? It almost looks like a shuttle car that would be used in a mine.

Indeed, there is permafrost there, but that's near shore sea ice that the equipment is on. They are installing a pipeline from a drilling island to shore.

It's an oops. The boys in ND are working so fast that there is no shortage of "fail-of-the-day" photos.

So I got the job shut down and all trades sent home on account of a gas leak. Working in the sidewalk vault right on top of a 4 inch gas line .Yesterday I smelled gas, the rest of the gang agreed they could smell it too. The building guys checked it out with a small detector and didn't find anything, so we went back to work.
Getting ready to start welding today in the confined space, smelt it again. Called the building, they didn't find anything...they borrowed a bigger detector, didn't find anything. Then we were standing there talking and the detector started going off in the guy's hand as he was talking to us.
FDNY comes, they don't find anything.
Con Ed comes with their fancy super sensitive detector, finds two leaks in the gas line and shuts the whole job down.
