I've been on a barge crane before. It's not that reassuring when the load is in the air. Super impressive though

For lack of a better term, are you guys installing a big ass "T"? What diameter is that?

Yes. Its a crossover line between existing feeder lines to share flow based on demand and water availability. We are doing 3 of these tees right now. Mainline is 144”, crossover between the lines is 96”. Its crazy how much pipe is in the ground right here. People have no clue how they get their water. Clueless.

It's funny, I never gave it much thought growing up in SoCal. As I got older, watched documentaries and read about the aqueducts and storage. Now, my water comes from a hole next to my house. One of my customers/friends owns some smaller water companies. Out here, a 12" line is considered huge. One of those pipes you're working with could probably supply our entire county.

We have done work on the New York aqueduct. It is the longest continuous tunnel in the world. The history on that system is so damn cool. As much as DWP was in the news for negative issues surrounding the fire, they really are and impressive organization. As a matter of fact i was listening to the Mike Rowe podcast today with Tim Allen as a guest and he has some really great experiences that he shared about the inside workings of the people that keep the machines alive that we all depend on for our water. My career has been built on the installation of water infrastructure all over north America. Very blessed.
Canada water tunnels & pipelines:
Note that a lot of the pipe we installed in Canada was built in Adelanto,CA at Northwest Pipe. The pipe we are installing now, built at the same plant.

That's really cool stuff! It's always impressive to see things on a massive scale, what it takes to do and how many people are involved.

Interesting that this show is in Munich, yet most all of the signage is in English ? Certainly wasn't that way in '72.
Also I suppose it's more age related, but whenever I view a tower crane, I can't help but pity the poor soul who has to climb down and back up, just to take a piss.
But the amount of massive specialty equipment at these shows from Liebherr alone, is completely staggering.

They have a bucket, they fly it off of the counterweight area. They do have a climb everyday though.

I'm surprised that tower crane operation hasn't gone virtual, with the operator sitting in a nice comfortable fitted out ConEX on site and controlling the crane remotely. I suppose someone would still have to climb the crane once a day for inspections and such.

The question I have is about the structure with the yellow track that the red crane is on, (if that is the right description of the vehicle. LOL) Is that just for the show or is that at the facility all the time? Also how long does it take to set up and home many guys? Always impressed @HBCraig thanks for sharing.

The booth and our area began construction at the end of August. Total area here including our offices and restaurants is about 160k square feet

I was thinking about the daily lubing and inspection, especially in snotty weather, being a most precarious job.
