Steve Crout has now moved on to East Timor just north of Australia.
This is his latest message to you all:
Hi Guys - on a new assignment these days in Sunny East Timor
(Just north of Darwin, Australia) and sunny days are the norm here!
A little piece for you on the importance of paying attention to details.
The Government of E Timor purchased 8 of these heavy oil burning generators for
$40 million USD each and built a new dock facility near the generating station
so they could transport the 220 ton units by boat to within 2 km of the
generating site. The last 2 km were to be handled by a firm from Indonesia by
loading the 220 ton unit onto a 26 axle trailer and using one truck to push and
one to pull the trailer they would complete the journey over the relatively easy
piece of road. Well, someone thought the sheer weight of the unit would keep it
on the trailer bed so they didn't bother paying attention to details like
strapping or chaining it down to the trailer bed.
They approached the small hill, the unit slid back and the pin in the hitch
popped out and the trailer went backwards driving the whole package sideways
into the roadside cliff.
No-one is accepting responsibility and the $40 mil unit remains on its side in
the dirt. No facilities on land to be able to right and re-load it. We were
thinking of calling in the US Army Corps of Engineers. They might like the
challenge. Anyone have any other ideas? (Taking it apart isn't an option)
Cheers Steve
