At last I am now home on a permanent basis for the foreseeable future,  so Welding, Fabricating, Machining, Precision Engineeering,  Inspired Bodgery, and Gunsmithing services are now available again.  There is also Tea Drinking, Riding and Piss taking and more tea drinking available to those brave enough to confront the land sharks

A lot of folks ask what I do, well here are a few piccies of the latest project,  a system that can simulate 650 foot deep water conditions to allow everything from equipment testing to welding trials to be conducted and practiced before the job starts for real.    I am the senior project engineer do the  design, and then the project management from construction through to manned trials and then hand it over, this job 2.5 years and a price tag you really don't want to know

The green handled regulators are about 1K a pop, the bit of pipework in the photo probably 180K, and this was probably 1/10 of the pipework

Welcome home Tim!

I love that pipework - it wouldn't look out of place in a funky brewpub of coffee shop smile

Cheers,

John

Funny story about that a few years ago,  not one of my jobs but a senior management prat decided to get someone to polish all the pipes to make it look nice for a photo,  the test inspectors came two days later to start testing and failed the whole thing as they had polished all identification off the pipes, they had to scrap the pipes and start again 6 months work and about 1.5 million to get back to the pre polish stage again.
