so all 96 nuts off three of the 4 legs were removed whoever the supervisor was must have thought he had a handle on the complicated cross-loadings between; line tensions, gravity and winds Sounds like they were the same supervisor who over saw the deck work down Cave Creek way. If it wasn't the pair must be equally as unqualified and plainly stupid. |

Pretty much as expected
"Northland power outage - Inexperienced worker removed too many nuts on pylon
An investigation into the collapse of a power pylon in Northland that cut power to most of the region has found contractor error was to blame.
Omexom was carrying out routine maintenance to the baseplate of Tower 130, a Transpower transmission tower servicing 100,000 properties, when the pylon fell on 20 June.
The report, released on Thursday morning, said a relatively inexperienced and inadequately supervised worker removed nuts from three of the four legs of the pylon, compromising its stability and causing it to rupture and fall.
And it was not the first time nuts and washers were removed from more than one leg of a pylon at once, which did not align with the contractor's own standard practice."

only just picked up on this news, Trans Power CEO Alison Andrew "finished" on 30 June, with no successor in place mailchi.mp/transpower.co.nz/news-from-transpower-julymaybe the minister responsible (Simeon Brown?) pulled the board chair in and said this is one stuff up too many, give her marching orders. Transpower needs to focus on its core role, reliable distribution of power and forget about getting involved in all the woke and ToW BS that infects almost all government departments and entities. |
