Shit! I’ve been transferred to site again! Abu Dhabi this time. Beginning tomorrow! Here comes the dog days again! And it’s friggin 130 km from home, 260 km of travelling per day! WTF.
Meanwhile, here’re some photos of my past working exploits. The shit days ain’t all bad actually. Enjoy!
Yours truly, after the completion of the Dubai Canal Project last year, with, from right, trusty foremen Shahid & Sajid, chargehand Hari and another chargehand from the adjoining section (don’t friggin remember his name…). No, we didn’t build that canal and the railings we’re leaning against, but that bridge behind us (Al Wasl Road Bridge) was our Company’s work. I was in charge of the car park beside the canal
Couldn’t have done it without these two chaps! Both of them are from Pakistan. Thanks fellas for the help – Shahid (left) and Sajid (right) – from atop the wavy pedestrian bridge built by Besix, one of our fellow contractors of the Dubai Canal Project
Safety Managers on a visit – Alex George, Corporate HSE Manager (left) and Thomas Daniel, Divisional HSE Manager (right) – No, there’re no safety issues to report, my section of the Project happens to be the most picturesque portion of the Project incidentally, so it’s a sightseeing visit actually! The bridge behind is the wavy pedestrian bridge I mentioned in the photo before
Yours truly during the dog days! (Look how haggard I became, friggin lost 4 kg in 40 days!) – with, from left, Bara, an engineer from the Consultants, Parsons, Ziad, our Utilities Engineer, and Mustafa, our Site / QAQC Engineer (Ziad and Mustafa are from Palestine)
Another dog day picture, this time with Binu (middle), an engineer of the Consultant Engineer, Parsons and Belal (left), our Utilities Site Engineer
Here’s one from our many site visits for tendering purposes – from left, Balaji (Planning Supremo of our bidding team …don’t know his real rank actually), Prashant (our top rank estimator, again dunno his actual rank), Anis (Structural Engineer), Boobalan (Highway Engineer), yours truly (ahem), and Suresh (Geotechnical Engineer) – at the Jewel of the Creek Access Project Site
Time to say goodbye – Farewell lunch for Boobalan at the Desi Dhaba Restaurant, Fortune Hotel, near our office – from left, Prashant, yours truly, Ravi (Senior Engineering Manager aka my immediate boss), Balaji, Jeboy (Senior CAD Draftsman), Vinoo (Senior Estimator), Anis, Suresh, and Purchasers, Sridhar and Renjith – From here, it doesn’t look much like a Chinese Company does it?
Another farewell, this time for Anis – many colleagues left us in the beginning of 2017, …not a positive-looking year, but what the heck, we’ll make the best of what we have – from left, Suresh, Vinoo, Balaji, Anis, Prashant, Jeboy and Ravi
And here’re some work trips abroad!
Yours truly, at our Company’s Kuwait Branch’s posh Conference Room at the Al Hamra Tower, tallest building in Kuwait. The Chinese really know how to impress huh? – Notice the Kuwait Towers from the window behind?
On a site visit and meeting trip, Kuwait Airport, Jan 2016
With David Lee of SK Group, Korea and Asif of the Caledonian College of Engineering, at the college’s premises in Muscat, Oman, Dec 2014
