Burrup job

[Jakebreak]

Not sure if this is in the right spot. I just got done watching a video on you tube called burrup contract down in Australia that was very impressive for the conditions and material they had to work in to finish up in 18 mo. I was wondering if any members on here worked on that job or heard any stories on it for some reason I couldn't post the link from you tube on here

Thank you for posting that.

Was it just me, or did the d-9's tracks look like the grousers were worn almost off ?

Almost looked like excavator pads.

Yeah they looked like racing slicks if I remember right they were getting a week or less than that on cutting edges and end bits

Not a single flouro shirt be seen, not to mention shorts and singlets.
Those blokes would be lined up and shot on a modern worksite.
It's amazing they were able to get the job done with such unsafe work practices.

they would still be building it if they had to put up with all of the nonsense of today .

I noticed that just about everyone I saw had shorts on hardly didn't see any safety vest. I bet their wasn't hardly a safety incident on that job where as now a days you paper cut your hand and it's a loss time incident. Your right Catman they would still be building it today if they had all the regulations that are out there today
