Toot, what a coincidence, I design those cylinders for one of the companies in that industry (we mainly specialise in general bolting but we do strand/anchor bolt/foundation bolting/post tensioning cylinders too). What Brand of Cylinders do you normally use and what do you like/dislike about them?

Most job sites I see SPX equipment, but it's completely up to the PT supplier what equipment they provide. I'm just there to document that the ironworkers pulling cables follow the rules. The equipment seems to be pretty rock solid. Almost everything I see is rather old and has been fixed/refurbished several times over but still running well. The times I've had a chance to talk with guys on the supplier's end of things, they have so many jobs to cover that every piece of gear has to be out in the field. For one job, Gerdau had to overnight ship a snub nose ram from 2 states away in order for us to be able to continue work the next day.

They do have shock absorbing shoes. Apparently police horses often go barefoot, though I'm not sure how often they're expected to go full speed or for how long.

The good kind. It's kind of a deal once you're north of the Iron Range. You have to get clear of the Rangers, it's just a thing that you do. Best to be north of Angora. It's fun. Don't worry, you'll help them out later when they need wood split. It's a ritual of northern life. Who can split better? Who can carry the most weight? Who can stack more quickly.

Then later, alcohol poisoning and missing limbs. Then it becomes who is the best First Responder. Who has the best inside line to get a Life Flight from Cook to Duluth.

I hope this version of Ben-Hur is safer than the 1926 film:

"Snopes posted:

The set in Rome proved to be unsuitable due to problems with shadows and the racetrack surface. Francis X. Bushman (Mesalla) relates the following: “During one take, we went around the curve and the wheel broke on the other fellow’s chariot. The hub hit the ground and the guy shot up in the air about thirty feet. I turned and saw him up there — it was like a slow-motion film. He fell on a pile of lumber and died of internal injuries.”

quote:

Another impressive and controversial scene in the 1926 version is the sea battle. Filmed at Livorno, Italy, it used hundreds of local extras, many of whom apparently lied about being able to swim. Friction was evident between the fascist and anti-fascist camps of the Italian cast. According to Brownlow, director Fred Niblo found a pile of sharpened swords on the deck of the pirate flagship — apparently the man casting the extras had separated the crews along political lines in hopes of getting a real naval engagement.

During filming, the staged fire on one of the triremes got out of control, sending armor-clad extras overboard. Whether any died is debatable. Bosely Crowther (The Lion’s Share, 1957) reports that no one died, although three men dressed as Roman soldiers showed up after being missing for three days. Others maintained that some deaths did occur but were covered-up by the studio. Brownlow again quotes Bushman as saying to Niblo, “My God, Fred, they’re drowning, I tell you!” as they watched the catastrophe. Niblo supposedly answered, “I can’t help it, those ships cost me $40,000 apiece.” Baxter accuses Crowther of falsifying the bloodier facts of Ben-Hur.

Ah SPX, okay, makes sense given it’s the states, although I’m kinda surprised it’s not enerpac since I know they’ve been making a push for specing into post tensioning and anchor bolt work where they can now. I’m Not surprised either, the issue we mainly face is that a lot of sites have equipment they’ve been using for years that works “fine” but could be better. Getting companies to replace tools under those circumstances (even if they’d be lighter/faster/smaller) is near impossible. Also our USA sales office is frankly really bad at pushing tensioning products generally.

I hear that. Worst is though when you thought you had time to pass on a straight away and then you get boxed in between like three of them and end up in a construction zone with concrete barriers to left and trucks to the front, right, and back of you. This shits the pants. damhikt...

Sometimes it doesn't even matter if you're on the opposite side of the road. I don't know if they fixed it but there's a notorious on-ramp in North Vancouver - the entrance is not only after a long curve on which you can't build up speed but it is also immediately before a bridge so there is basically no space for the entering cars to get up to highway speeds or even find a gap. There are only 2 lanes for each side so if traffic was ever heavy in the right lane the entrance got backed up because even the most aggressive/best driver in the world couldn't force themselves in if there wasn't enough of a gap to stomp on the gas after exiting the curve. See my amazing MS Paint diagram here: https://i.imgur.com/HnC5Itk.jpg.

After driving the route enough a lot of people learned to be nice and change from the right lane to the left lane if they see a line of cars building up. Unfortunately one day one of these drivers (who had driven the route many times) was in a fully loaded logging truck. Immediately after the bridge in my drawing is a fairly sharp right turn for a highway. I don't think it was ever officially said why the truck was in the left lane but thinking about it now I guess it wouldn't have actually mattered. In any case the logging truck entered the right turn after the bridge and lost its load over the highway divider. Killed two women and injured 4 others. The driver was cleared of any charges as no evidence was found that he was speeding but I can't find any articles after that about if the load wasn't secured properly or what.
