Couple of pics from work

[niall s14a]

Had a couple of pics from work on my phone, mightnt be much interest in them uo i said id throw them up anyway!

This one is of a 500 tonne liebherr crane installing the 55 tonne generator



This one is of two 250 tonne cranes being used to change damaged blades. Note the deflection in the boom in both pictures, modern cranes are designed to do this so they can use a lightweight and strong steel when manufacturing the boom.

Ah it depends on what your goin to do, if your a spark you could get in at the cabling of them, then puttin them together they look for a mechanical background. Things are gettin tighter now though, more lads around with experience in them so they'll ask for you to have all your tickets before you start ie teleporter, safe pass, slinger/banksman

Ah to be honest I don't think so lad, you could always fire in a cv and see how you get on, if they take you on on a permanent basis they'll want you to do the tickets I mentioned above outve your own pocket.
