Just finished overhauling a 4000 hp water pump at work. Farking impeller came loose on the shaft and munted a few things up inside the pump.

Just got it back together and its running very nicely. Had the shaft and impeller assembly dynanically ballanced. The pump casings also needed a few welding repairs to replace some of the worn metal.

What the hell you need to move so much water for?

Its only one of four big pumps we have.

Irrigating 24,000 Ha in the rolling country behind Oamaru. When all the pumps are running we draw 14 MW.

Biggest pumps I have seen, are the big corkscrew ones they use in the waikato for draining swampland, damn those things are impressive to watch.

Mexican Dragline, was rebuilt about 4 years ago.



On a slightly 'offline' theme, I saw the shorts for that 'Death roads' programme. Are these staged? No normal truck driver has to ride on the edge of death to the point of get through or die in the process. I'm sure these are simply set ups. What do you think?

Yep sadly tis'a real road, unsure as to why they can't widen the road, maybe lack of equipment?

Just widening the death road by half a meter would mean moving many millions of tons of rock and dirt.they could of at least given them a 4x4 truck ffs. Would be a good road to do on a dirtbike.

Just been watching this clip you posted back in January. This is from a film titled " Early Logging Technology of the Mid West," I have the full video tape It's about an hour long from memory. Also on my tape is a 20 minute, 1950's film about the Kaiangaroa forestry logging film, ( remember the 'Look at life' films before the main feature?). Also a good clear movie taken back in the 1920's of kauri logging in the Corromandel ranges.

I must take the casette tape in and get it converted to a disc. I think it costs about $20 somewhere in Hamilton.
