Cool.
What's your position there? I'm doing HLD on new builds in Korea, so this kinda stuff interests me.
I was on a barge while they were pile driving jackets for WHPs in the Bongkot and Arthit fields. No chance of any shut eye!
Senior night-shift construction superintendent. Basically running all trades and support on nights. It was a good job. Five months of living in Ban Chang on "The Strip" Finished at five in the morning. Got to know a few of the mamasans and they would open up the bars for me at seven. Shit, shave, shower and a bite to eat at the Camel and away we go......Quote:

I thought there may be more as I don't see exhausts on top or living quarters. Maybe not on yet?Quote:

£530 per week
This is the salary an offshore/oilfield worker will make if he is paid at the current UK minimum hourly wage for over 21 years of age at £6.31 p.h.
Wait a minute... that's... like... 84 hours per week...?
Sure is, and it's fucking dangerous too.
A month? Not too shabby.Quote:

Floating cranes, I've seen it all now.
It's only one street but it's guuuud. The Camel is at the start of the strip about half way the street. The lad that owns it is called Terry. He's in the oil 'n gas game also. Top bloke.Quote:

It has a control room but the living quarters will be a barge moored alongside.Quote:

Got anything lined up for your next project?
I've often heard the term Skyhook, but that's crazy.Quote:
