Friday was a long day. I try not to complain alot, but Friday whipped me. The MC crew took care of three towers. Basically twice the amount of work done on a normal day. Good job guys. At the end of the day, Paul 1, Nick, Matt and Dan were let loose to head home. Those guys will be back on the job in Iowa by the second week of July. Great working with you guys. Nick, I will make sure you fire a gun within the next two weeks. Saturday I handled three walk downs (final inspection before turnover to the customer (Enel Green Energy)). Climbing three towers will take it out of you... 900 feet of ladder climbing plus gear. We have four turbines left to Generator Align, and then walkdown. Hopefully the winds stay down Monday and Tuesday so we can finish. One rotor (hub with blades installed) is still on the ground, we are waiting on a GE engineer to sign off on some repair work before it can be installed. This turbine is cursed (G3). I have a feeling it is on an Indian burial ground or something. Below are some photos from the past few days. Enjoy.
Can you tell who the foreman is on this blkade pick? On the right is the safety manager (hasn't climbed a tower in 17 years probably).
Tim B. inpecting the underide of the 16000 crane. He is 5' 8", you do the math, this crane is HUGE.
Found a frog at G3 while MCing on Friday.
Mason from Enel found a horned frog before the walkdown on H7.
