Refinery job

[R L S]

A big thanks to Charlie from Apex deck savers who sent an out of state equipment broker to us for this job. This piece of equipment is 4 stories tall 150 feet long and 50 feet wide. Washed it from the top all the way to the ground. In the lower left corner of the first pic is a 13,000 hp electric motor (covered in plastic) as tall as I am,over 6 feet. They had 4 of those.Thanks again Charlie

Aren't those jobs fun lots of nooks and crannies, good luck.

[R L S]

Paul,
We just finished today, You aint kidding nooks and crannies!!!!!
By the time we got to the 2nd story there was literally a foot of debri and crap from the upper levels, I hooked up the fire hose and blasted it to the ground floor with 200gal a minute worked like charm.

[Paul Kassander]

High flow baby thats the way to go.

Ever clean a tunnel boreing machine...solid mud-clay with a ton of nooks and crannies now thats F U N.

[Scott Stone]

A pavement milling machine is more fun. Rock hard, nooks and crannies, and huge.

[Paul Kassander]

Those are fun too, it is amazing how hard and stuck to the surface the milled asphalt can get just sitting on the drive tracks.

Even more fun is a concrete paver, all the concrete splashes up on it when they are loading it. I had to strip one of those down for paint before. That stuff just doesn't want to come off.

Or the engine/cab/underside of a backhoe after the customer who rented it decided to sink it in a pond he was digging say to the top of the engine compartment.

Thats all the pics I could get Beth. I wasnt supposed to take any but they let these slide.
The machine is going to Russia on Thursday.

[Scott Stone]

Time for a new thread.

[Paul Kassander]

Ya we need fewer refineries in the US with our gas prices so low....

[bigchaz]

how the heck does that get to russia

Should have let you clean it after they tookit apart if thats what theyre doing

[RPetry]

Richard,

That is real pressure washing. Very impressive job. Great example why wood contractors are not pressure washers.

[MudDuck]

Going to Russia huh,,,,You give it that final "golden wash" cycle before leaving? LOL
