Holdfast Training Services Trial Blog

Hi All,

Craziness this end once again – sounds like everyone is getting heaps of work. I must admit I think Roy beats me on the hours worked at the moment. My main issue is that my boss has gone underground to schedule an enormous amount of reinforcement – upper and lower piers, diaphragms and tie beams, all of which are different as there is no uniformity on this job. She has abandoned me for 4 weeks to sort out Thailand stuff on my own – very irritating and upsetting – also, no return date planned and v poor communication. As such, I’ve made a complaint/petition to the ops manager to see if I can move to a more on-site role….should be ok. Perhaps Steve would say she’s failed ‘communication 101’?

Anyhoo, I’m off to Darwin for a week as I started here 2 weeks early, I have some leave up my sleeve! I hope she will be back by the time I return.

Please see my blog at www.roselliott.wordpress.com for some reinforcement pictures….if you’re interested in reinforced concrete looking like a steel structure!

Hey all,

Craziness here too as my boss is away in Brisbane a lot and I’ve been the go-to about reinforcement and shipping coordinateion….usually ending in me reading the code and then finding an excuse to visit the designers next door with brains much larger than mine!. I’ve recently received the reinforcing cages which are being prefabricated in Thailand and they’re being installed on site. I’ve posted heaps of photos to show the operation which should ‘paint several thousand words’….see www.roselliott.wordpress.com!

G’day all – enjoyed reading your thing Rachel. My page is www.roselliott.wordpress.com and is where I dump all my material, so if reinforcement'[s your thing have a look!

Hope you’re all well,

Ros
