It's a bridge, not a Spinet piano.

Speaking of bridges (and 100# of dynamite)

I am a graphic designer of different buildings and bridges. It is a very interesting job because I like building and designing things since aI was a child. Now it is easier to work in this domain because in the past people draw the building by themselves and building the layout of it also by their hand. Now I just make the matrix of the building on my PC and then just print the details of it on a 3D printer and assemble it. Once we build such a big layout that we used a Peco lift hire to assemble it. It is now in the main office in our building and I am very proud of it.

how do you blame the welder for a failure next to rivets?

 

[thør]

I always blame the welder.

 

[thør]

It doesn't look that that anymore.

Fucking Engineers

Yeah, Engineers are like vegetarians and harmonica players. You'll eventually find out if you're ever in a room with one...

 

[thør]

"The engineer's report was likely not read until years later."

Most likely, yesterday.

Budgets......

 

[thør]

Speaking of budgets, there's a lot of sniffing about at the $240M dollars in design fees at this site.

[JohnnySavage]

Always front load the budget.

Always front load the budget.

Western Australian government purchases five of Caterpillars secret CAT-AT mobile control rooms to patrol its borders.

The CAT-AT has been in development for a number of years with several large miners as a mobile control room and fleet control system. It can control up to 100 autonomous trucks and provides a birds eye view of the pit. This Hydrogen powered green machine can house up to twenty people and has a built in lab for testing rock samples. It is blast proof, meaning it doesn’t have to leave the pit during blasting.
The WA government has placed an order for three with an option for two more. One will go to the SA border where it can provide over the horizon viewing and being mobile, it cover a number of tracks around the highway. This version will also include sleeping quarters and hosts a control room for remote drones to add a further 50km range. The other two are believed to heading to the NT border.
