I worked at the coop arena in Manchester during its mid way construction as a labourer the first day there I sat down at break for a smoke and overheard a group of lads talking about how a lad threw himself off the catwalks above the stage area around a year prior to me joining the job not to mention the fact it was never reported no one ever caught wind of it except for the lads who went through the same shit industry we all slave our asses off working in the awareness is now there but at what cost when people still feel the need to do these things because of the shite conditions they are expected to work in and keep up with says it all when I used to imagine an office job being the ultimate suicide job but these days construction is more bullshit and less happy days especially for trades and labourers who are either expected to much of or turned down time and time again it’s also the only work environment I’ve been in where you want to fight someone and it usually ends up happening one way or another mostly with the boss since it’s usually them with the stick up their ass and the power trip either them or a coked up mong who’s on one sad really because it’s the only industry I enjoy working in you get a better sense of freedom and you can find some funny people as well as smart ones but that doesn’t change how scummy and corrupted it can be at most times

I think it's always been a steady progression. Man power, water wheel, steam engine, oil engine, diesel engine, electric, hydrogen..........full solar battery (ultra efficient solar technology. Meaning no fuel bill) but the energy suppliers will buy that abd keep it locked away......because the world has to be consumers.......as money makes the world go around. Just like the song says!

Bada boom

Interesting topic keep it up

That's an east asian Volvo. They are known for climbing high to catch prey

This is a load of BS with little knowledge of the construction industry. If there had been any reference to the flow of new orders there would be a realisation that construction is on the end of a piece of elastic tied to both the public sector and private sector commissioning organisations. Think on this, 50% of all construction is funded through the public purse so the Govt has a great influence on the health of construction. From Brexit we have seen astronomical costs in materials and a shortage of tradesmen, the latter due to Govt not investing time and effort to encourage apprenticeships, which is also compounded by the growth of sub-contract labour as a response to the 7yr cycle of boom and bust. I could go on about the state of the industry but we certainly don't need ignoramus' giving ill-informed judgements on a subject that they know nothing about.

The mention of Lendlease rang a bell. Lendlease, an 'Strayan builder, was the lead contractor on the Oceanwide Plaza project in Los Angeles, the infamous graffitied hi=rise project abandoned by the Chinese real estate company now blighting downtown LA. They filed a contractor's lien in the amount of \100 million dollars against the company before they shut down in 2019.

Great conversation 🎉

A little geeky here but it’s built like a Borg Cube.

M25 = induced demand. HS2 is a political vanity project to hide the lack of investment in existing & local routes

It would be less vital if, in relatively recent times, the Great Central had not been destroyed by the Tories. Ripping up the recent high speeds plans is nothing compared to that bit of utter strupidity

People the devil fears:

Sit yo ass down

Yes sweet but not got reactions to pull arm from crush zone

This looks like it belongs in the ocean 🤷

That makes no sense to do it that way

Caz inside the rig : lad what ?

Thanks for allowing me to come on 🎉

Where can one observe this spectacle

Tire dies

Fell forward like a dead robot

Did you say oil?

NOOOO MY PRECIOUS

The person in the toilet: WHAT THE FUCK IS GOIN ON?!

Knap hoor poe poe . Nog 25 meter te gaan 🎉🎉🎉

Stable construction

Whilst the Victorians had the foresight to provide a leap of infrastructure in UK it was created from a woefully low base, where infrastructure was almost non-existent. Also, the Victorians mostly rode roughshod over the sensibilities of the people, wiping away homes and businesses at will. In our crowded island today we do not have the luxury of creating massive infrastructure projects without the potential to damage irrevocably desperately needed homes and thriving businesses. HS2 may seem to be a flagship infrastructure project worthy of completion but we ask WHY? It serves to provide connection to London a tiny bit quicker, when we ought to be creating a national strategy to devolve some of the centrist policies into the regions. You might say that HS2 serves those regions but the likely outcome will be to ferry passengers into an already overcrowded city, the magnet of London will overwhelm any draw the regions may have. What is desperately needed is a rail infrastructure that interconnects the regions with each other to make those regions stronger and more effective.

Feeling well flush mate. Ta.

such incredible waste is why the world is about to fall apart financially.

So we might as well start drinking at work? Fuck yea

Apprenticeships, and probably more importantly "mentorships" is how we'll retain the skills that are mastered throught tens of thousands of hours in the seat and on the ground. Our trade can not be learned in a four year Apprenticeship, only the basics can! It's a lifetime of learning, because of changing weather and ground conditions, no two jobs are the same. And the work can be very varied...................so it's good to have a "old hand" in the gang to chuck their two penneth in, when a problem pops up.

I tell u why the construction industry is run by imbeciles and money hungry ceo's

Why is this?

Peg legged dog needs to sit for a while.

Couldn't you argue the same thing for every new type of fuel that becomes standard? The whole industry won't switch at once, plenty of people will retire, plenty more young ones will come out of school ready for the new generation.

Byebye stinky cars. Can't wait!

Builders are constantly going bust in Australia, it's just standard practice to avoid all the liabilities they accumulate. They employ cowboys, flout regulations, do a shit job and then run.

House builders usually have fixed price contracts. The inflation on building materials made builders lose money. As such they have gone bankrupt. The building industry has the most corrupt unions because of the amount of government construction contracts there are. Unions can force these construction companies with government contracts over a barrel. These jobs always run over time and over budget because it's taxpayers money. The mafia in construction needs to be cleaned out and jailed for their anticompetitive ways.

All the management of large construction companies are straight out of university, they have no practical experience and their arrogance is incredible

That aint good

Take that for taking our oil!

I guess it has no problem with a hurricane

I wonder why they couldn’t convert it to a prison or a housing. If I were a super millionaire I would buy it and make it my panic station and park it off the Bahamas.
