Big Carl

[KimB]

Some of you will know what I’m talking about right away, those that won’t. Big Carl is a Sarens crane. The biggest in the world apparently, 5000t lifting capacity

Waiting to see where I’m going so far. I am delivering an SPMT

 

[OJCar]

What is a SPMT?

(is it what makes Nicola Sturgeon so grumpy ? )

 

[voipio]

Single Pole Multi Throw? Is it a very big switch??

It'll take a day just to get through the site induction down there...

One of my mates works there on the temporary electric side of things, it is a BIG job.

I doubt it. ALE/Sarens and Allelys will probably do that.

You never know. They are going to be mass produced in factories nothing like conventional nuclear plants.
You certainly need patience to drive lorries!
