That doesn't sound right.But I'm actually referring to Brad's job and his design work on power line poles. You would think, as an engineer, that he would spend most of his time computing calculations and making drawings, but really, he gets to do a lot of fun stuff while doing field work. Such as playing around on earthquake cracks and riding in helicopters with no doors.
What's especially cool for him is actually seeing his drawings come to life with the construction of his poles and the pouring of the concrete foundations. So, I wanted to share some photos of his projects (and him on the job) just to brag and show how proud I am of his hard work. :)
Self rusting pole - yeah, that's right - they design the pole so that it rusts
Field walks in the middle of nowhere
Grouting the micropiles
Placing concrete for pier foundation
Brad's co-worker emailed him this photo with the caption, "we found this lost and disoriented man". Can you spot Brad?
And I'll leave you with one last image - Brad trying to blow something up - scary, right?
