[TheForge] Tidying up welding leads

Thu Aug 28 10:15:01 2003

When I was a very young engineer we had a big construction job on a new 5
stand cold mill.  It was behind schedule and the construction manager kept
adding more and more piping contactors to get back on schedule.  Each
contractor hand 5 or 6 welders going at once.  The floor was just covered
with welding cables, just one on top of another.  Had temporary lighting
cables, air hoses etc too.  Seemed like the mess was 2 or 3 inches thick.
(Welder were parked outside the building.)  Really big mess, but they got
all of the pipe done.  We joked that at the end we would just load the
cables in a dumpster and sell them for copper scrap, but they did get them
all untangled somehow.

I know this is no help, but is does seem to be a universal problem.
