A few pics from earlier this week. Laying out 350 feet of track inside of a building.

Maybe not the "field"

Too much artificial lighting, and it has a roof!

🙂

What is that thing for?

True, maybe it should have said "Pics from inside". What thing are you referring to?

What are the tracks for? And for what purpose is that whole thing?

Ultimately, we are surveyors.... with fancy tools etc. In order for somebody to hire us, they have to make more money than we do, so they hire us to do their thing. What is "Their thing", in this photograph?

They do steel service and fabrication. The track is a side track off of one of our lines. They want to be able to receive and send their steel products by rail.

Careful with your EDM indoors if they have a halon system. I touched off a $100,000 halon dump (at least that's what they told me)surveying inside the gas plant on the North Slope. It was FREEEKY!!!
