Orange Coveralls

Up to this point, I have been posting about the things that we have been up to on the weekends, so I thought it was due time for a post on what we're doing during the week. In a word...work...in orange coveralls. Ryan spends a big portion of his day on the Topsides platform that we are building here in Korea. I've been doing my best to do the same because it is such a great learning experience! We're learning a lot and having fun with this experience!

Two Engineers working together on an Oil & Gas Platform being built in Korea and then shipped to Russia - such a great experience! :)

A couple of weeks, I stuck around to watch one of the latest blocks be set on the platform - it was really cool to see it come over our heads and then be set on top of the platform! Here's a few pictures for you to enjoy!

I also took a trip to see the drilling derrick for our project. It was fun because you had to climb up a ladder to get to the different levels - they hooked us to a device on a wire which would stop you if you fell so it made climbing up there a little less intimidating.

Several weeks ago, Ryan was asked to present a safety topic to the fabrication workers on our project - there were over 1,000 people that attended! It was translated into Korean as he spoke so that they knew what he was talking about. :)
