Myo, the above asked this be forwarded to you from advfn chat:
"myo, we touched base about ten years ago on a technology co - I bailed out, too complex for me!
However I do understand ' mucky fingers ' engineering which leads me to Sirius minerals
Earlier in the year as one of a party of three I visited Sirius.
We spent the morning at Wood smith a tour conducted by GC & SH followed by a rather nice buffet lunch in one of the meeting rooms. We then continued on to Lockwood Beck finishing up at Wilton. We arrived at 9 am and left at 5,45 pm
The thing that impressed me most was the sheer professionalism of everyone I met and this was only exceeded by the enormous level of optimism that pervades.
To give you an indication of the above, each team involved in the various engineering tasks wear different coloured hard hats so that they can be immediately identified, additionally each team leader wears yet another coloured hard hat so he can be picked up instantly, should the need arise.
The size and scale of the operation is immense, I looked down into the access portal and thought heavens that is deep, we descended in the cage to the floor and looked up and I thought good lord this is deep!!
Every aspect of this huge project is thought through and attended to - from the smallest to the largest detail.
As an example as we were being driven around the site we were passing a grass verge abounded by a hedge, beyond which lay a ploughed field.
A guy was coming down equipped with spraying gear - I asked what he was doing - the answer ' weed spraying, we like to have good neighbours
and don't want them saying weeds from your site are spoiling my crops'
At the other end of the scale I was keen to visit the concrete ring production facility and it is impressive when you bear in mind the number of ring sections needed on this project it has to be and it's great that is in house a major cost saving from outsourcing
We walked the length of the Stella Rose to the back of the cutter head ( photo opp ) what an amazing piece of kit that is and has to be seen to be appreciated.
So, to sum up and hopefully support the nervous investors at this critical time, in my hands on opinion this project is simply to well engineered and too important to fail
All of the above IMHO and good fortune to all
PS Can someone copy this to 'the other board ' please or alert Myo that it is here"
