I must comment on this, having come across it by accident, because it is hilarious. The picture of the vessel being unloaded by 3 of those forklifts would be put up on the wall of any construction site as being how "not" to perform this lift. This would be classified as a dangerous practise and it does not help JBI's cause one bit to let this kind of thing be public.

What they need here is a crane and a lift plan. That is, a qualified engineer or technican with specific knowledge of lifting techniques would prepare a plan as to how to put the vessle in place with at least a 50T crane, I would think.

The reason why is simple; safety. People get hurt on a construction site all the time, and every precaution is taken to make sure no one gets hurt.

This could not have been done in a union environment, for sure.

It is well known that any worker can refuse unsafe work.

The vessel is way overloading those forklifts.

So what happened here is a bunch of guys got together and just did it. Much like building the plant... they just did it. And their lives are at risk.

This is why any numbers that JBI provides must be taken into context. If they are going to do this then they are not working in the reality of a serious construction environment. Cranes, good technical people, and union labor cost money. That is a reality that JBII has to accept if they want to play with the big boys.
