Now we're talking linepumping! Yesterday we did 250m line about 100m elevation. No problems. Infact it went so well we will go an extra 50m up next week. Lets see how that goes :-) Worst part of the job is the walk up the mountain. Its hard to see on the picture how steep it actualy is.

NCC build up the line themselves. They use helicopter to fly most of the pipes up. But still a lot of hard labor I must say Surprised All 5'' line..

 Nice job. Hard work. Harrison Western Mining did a job outside Hanna Utah 27 years ago up 1400 feet at a 40 degree angle with a helicopter to set the pipe. Crazy shit. We had a moose on site one day. We did it with a 28 meter SCHWING on the high side. Your job looked great, but I have to agree the walk up the hill sucks.

I would never start on this job if it was just me and 1 other man to put down the whole line. Many hands make light work they say Wink
