A massive compressor station near Chinchilla, QLD. Coal seam gas is a huge industrial operation that will take over large swathes of farmland or native vegetation, and could do considerable damage to ground and surface waters. The Green house gas implications are also large due to the amount of methane that escapes during extraction and processing.

White Knob Mining District
Significant copper deposits were first discovered in the White Knob Mountains in 1879 and by 1884, the White Knob Area was being developed into one of the largest copper producers in Idaho. The tram towers here, from the early 1900s, were part of an aerial tram system in the White Knob Mining District used to carry ore over four miles down the mountain to the smelter and blast furnaces from the Empire Mine to the railroad. This historic mining complex contains a railroad grade, industrial mining buildings and features, adits and ruins of miner’s residences. Recent work has restored the tram towers and railroad trestle.

Our neighbor Donna turned us onto the idea of using old refrigerator compresses coils as doormats. On our way home from the dog park this morning she dug one out of a pile by a dumpster. We took three more home with us. Wendy immediately grabbed the bolt cutters and trimmed it down to size. I love the look and it does feel like you can scrap off whatever is stuck to your shoes. The pets hate them! Cat and dog alike they will not step on it.

Because we were shutdown I was able to get up the flare boom for some shots of the platform and the crewchange flight.
As luck would have it, the chopper shutdown on our Floating Storage vessel, the MV12, due to a suspected fuel leak. I hung around up there for nearly two hours to make sure I was in place for the chopper landing on Rong Doi.

This site included the headquarters and warehouses of a former Walloon civil engineering company which went bankrupt in 2004. The first balance sheets and annual accounts of the company available online are from 1990, but there have been activities since the 1950s (maybe even earlier). Its activities remain very unclear: it is known that its services included various construction sites and infrastructures installations. Some sources mention the construction of viaducts, bridges, roads or storm basins; others cite heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems.
The majority of the material (joists, logs, technical equipment and various vehicles such as cranes, bulls, roller-compressors, etc.) was put up for sale in November-December 2004. Today, there only remains empty warehouses and empty rooms. Well located next to important access roads, the site is nevertheless abandoned and squatted everyday by homeless people. In spite of this sad state and the danger of a palpable presence, the pretty rays of sunshine through the roof of the warehouse were a fine compensation.

Ce site constituait le siège et les entrepôts d’une ancienne et importante Société Anonyme de génie civil wallonne ayant fait faillite en 2004. Les premiers bilans et comptes annuels de l’entreprise disponibles en ligne remontent à 1990, mais l’activité de l’entreprise est recensée dès les années 50 (voire plus tôt). Ses activités restent très floues: on sait que ses services comprenaient des chantiers et installations d’infrastructures diverses. Certaines sources mentionnent la construction de ponts-viaducs, de routes ou encore de bassins d’orage; d’autres citent par ailleurs des systèmes de chauffage, de ventilation et conditionnement d’air.
La plus grande partie du matériel (poutrelles, madriers, matériel technique et véhicules divers tels que grues, bulls, rouleaux-compresseurs…) ayant été mis en vente en novembre-décembre 2004, il ne reste aujourd’hui plus rien sur le site que des entrepôts et pièces vides. Très bien situé à côté d’importantes voies d’accès, le terrain est cependant laissé à l’abandon et squatté quotidiennement par des sans-abris. Malgré ce triste état et un danger de présence palpable, les jolis rayons de soleil traversant la toiture des entrepôts furent une belle compensation.

The day to day running of the cement train is quite complex and interesting. Apart from the remote loading/unloading arrangements, both ends of the train have a push-pull type setup with a driving trailer, No DV 1 being attached on the western end of the train.[ ie Devonport to Railton workings]. This vehicle was converted from a former TGR Y Class EE Locomotive, with the motor removed. There is an on board compressor, but the unit is weighted by ballasting for safe operations.
