Sweet pics Jason! Is this the new CP Chem/USGC ethylene site? If so, the company that I work for is doing almost half of the pipe spool fabrication for it!

Drove down to the construction site to check out the beast myself. You can see the top of the boom raising out the site while driving up highway 146 several miles away. It is very tall. Took some photos (not as good as Jason's).

Taken at the southeast corner:

Unless they have a super ultra heavy pay scale? This was a awesome opportunity to get pics of this crane. Glad you all liked them

Typically the crane operators for the larger cranes get paid by Tonnage and Boom length(whichever is greater) per the local operators union agreement (if they are union). The operators also get more per hour if they have different certifications, NCCO, etc. If they are non-union then each operator typically negotiates their own rate.

Got to see the last of the LR 13000 And only when you go to this site are you only able to understand the size of this project
This is a completely new refinery they are building its so big they are building a bridge over the road for pipes because there is a second part on the other side of the highway
Also from the other photos earlier tons of progress has been made
bridge to be lifted
