Titanium Gear Industries (domestic source)

Just want everyone to hear that I’m in a training class today and the motherfucker gave us homework. After a college-type lecture.

That shit isn’t getting done..

I have that happen and I don’t do it, especially when they aren’t even in my department. If they try emailing me I just tell them I’ve got production work that needs to be done; if there’s an issue file a report and I’ll counter it with a null productivity time incident report assigned to them to justify.

Although I just got out of a meeting where my boss said we need to start justifying our teams existence.
 
Rough job I’m a Union ironworker I thought I have it rough but mining is no joke I worked with sand hogs for a bit that had me scared I’ll stick to the sky
It's only dangerous if you dont pay attention. We surface mine with dragline 75yd bucket. 350ft boom, 4000 tons. The bucket with a load in it is between 160-210tons! I sit in the ac unless something breaks which is pretty rare.

Ya MSHA is like osha on steroids lol I did a lot of contracting work out at a surface/underground coal mine. Them drag lines are impressive, the one they operated was supplied by a 47k volt cable just un-godly how much earth they move. And 350ft boom?? That's a extremely tall high wall man!

I always see these super high voltage stats for this kind of equipment but how many amps is that? I want to know how many kilowatts those things are pulling. I’ve worked some factory equipment that’s 2,000amp but only runs 480 3phase, so it’s not ungodly

Fuck 160-210 tons I mean that boom length is impressive. I work with mostly tower cranes the building I’m on now is about 70 stories in nyc it’s illegal to Christmas tree ( stack steel pieces individually with a vertical sling ) so we load all steel on the floor at most were picking 35 tons and then we set one at a time lol havnt worked with a dragline yet Summers are brutal and winters are worse

I hung steel for a short time in Michigan in January. That was almost 20 years ago and I'm still shivering!

I was saying the amount of earth they move is ungodly. I know that specific mine was moving millions+ Lbs of dirt a day. Along with pumping millions+ gallons of water/day as well. But I'm not sure what the conversion to Amps that would be I'm not an electrician, but I do know if you hit that line you'd be served at the KFC buffet :D
