10,000,000 man hours

So PCL had a BBQ lunch for us today. Apparently on their portion of this site they had gone 'Lost Time Injury Free' for over 6,000,000 man hours. I was amazed that they could get over 1200 people served food in under 45 minutes. The whole jobsite has gone over 10,000,000 man hours LTI free. It freaks me out how many man hours have been put into this project. But I guess if you are going to spend $10,000,000,000 building something it is going to take alot of hours to do it. I have taken some more pictures. I am posting one of the PCL crew leaving through 'brass alley' at the end of the shift. At the point that I took the picture I am about halfway in the lineup. The other pictures are of the units that PCL is building, which would be combined to be called the 'Primary Upgrade' or PUG site. The first picture with the crane in it is of the 'coker'. This structure is over 400' high. Just to be able to scale its size you can see on the left partway up the structure on the concrete columns two 60' lunch trailers. That should give you an idea of the size of all of this.

You will also notice a picture of my foot. I am standing on a scaffold up about 250' on the coker. This is the kind of thing I do for money. And yes I am tied off with fall protection and in no real danger. Of course If I did fall they would have to get the high angle rescue team to get me down.
