Whoops...

Yup....I see it done daily. He couldn't have picked a worse spot to unload. Took a bigger machine to get it upright. Luckily no one was hurt, and the machine was in use the next day.

 

I looked at the pic and thought the same!

 

Well, we had a major whoops at work Tuesday morning, thankfully nobody was close when it went off. Don't know the cause. I would post a video, but would probably be frowned upon...

One of the substation transformers blew.
It powered the upper part of our plant. We have 2 calciners down, don't know have much work will have to be done.
Our construction contractor is hard at work in this brutal heat. They've gotten part of it done, using jackhammer to bust up concrete. Zoom in and you can see the burnt wires...
Burning some diesel, but got some of the most important parts of plant back running.

 

That looks intense!

 

I think it was , it happened after I got off Tuesday morning. Wish I could share the video

 

Scary stuff! Glad no one was close by when that happened.

 

I'm surprised you can even share pics of the plant...many places don't allow that

 

Shhhhh

 

One of our tenants had a small whoops with his pivot. Started it up late evening and this is what he found the next morning. I guess the pressure switch to prevent this was not working, not sure. He got a hold of the pivot dealer and they started to haul in truck after truck of dirt. Poured new slab and had it back up and running in a few days. Farm is located in Wheeler County so lots of sand to deal with. Not sure what the bill will be but we are glad he got right on it to be back in business. He is also seeing if his insurance may help out.

 

They sent out a thing about no sharing any video about it on social media. I know they monitor some FB accounts and a couple folks are subscribed to our YT channel.
I try to fly under the radar here.

 

Lots of sound effects too, I’ll bet!

 

Some guys said it sounded like big fireworks going off.

 

When the power went out, lost some brick in one of the flash units, they are getting it rebuilt...
The other company is making great progress on getting power restored.
Got the new transformer set, conduit and some wires run...
Installing new structure and cable trays.

 

Did you hear any ideas on why it happened?

 

No sir

 

another kohler

 

Yikes! What got in there?

 

I believe it floated a valve.
