Construction Site


Today I was watching these guys breaking ground for a new building, I counted 18 brand new machines working in unison with each other, it was 46deg. and I couldn't see an air conditioner on any of them. I don't know how these people survive in these temperatures but I tell you I'm doing it pretty hard can't wait to get back home to some cooler weather.

cheers BB

 Wow, tough workers there. I guess my folks and myself as a teen did it pretty hard with machinery/farming/contracting etc.

aircon in those machines would be integrated not a rooftop rattler. unless you are in the machine you wouldn't see if it was air-conditioned or not .

I've worked on a Dragline in Simpson (Lake Torrens.)

50+ most days.
Open cab. no wind.
Used a fan and multiple dripping Waterbags on sugar bags
to cool you a little.
Would have been waay over the 50 INSIDE cab though.
even with door and windows off.

Bloody great diesel donk. Winches and bands inside there with you.
Earplugs... YEA.

You CAN work in those conditions.
But it takes it out of you.
No Aircond in Humpies either. (Tin)

You earned your money in the'50\'60\ '70s.

I think you may be right outlaw otherwise those guys would be slowly cooked if they didn't have any sort of cooling, it is in the Kingdom of Bahrain Bagmaker the aluminium smelter has started construction on their sixth pot line. What I find entertaining is that it looks like it's all been choreographed when all those machines are working so closely together.
