Hey guys!
Dad and I went and watched some iron work today!!!!!! It was a great time! The company is Fox Contractors Corp. from Ft. Wayne, Indiana. They are doing the stripping for Lafarge Cement Plant / Hanson Stone. They are stripping 600,000 CY, and doing around 500,000 CY a month. There are 9 40 ton Cat trucks on the projects. There are 6 Cat 627's. There are 2 brand new 345C L's one which is ME format. There are 3 D8's and a 140H. They are running 2 10 hour shifts on the project. Here is one thing I didn't understand: Some pans push/pulled, some loaded themselves, some were push loaded by a D8. From what I know about production you would want to keep your ways pretty much the same throughout the project, unless I am missing something. Anyone know the reasoning there?? Please comment and ask questions! I got plenty of pics to post, so please..anyone??
