Working on the building of transformer cages and instrument skids for the oil & gas industry in Australia. This involved a wide variety of work , from pulling in and glanding of large SWA cables to terminations of single pair instrument cables. Majority of the work was done in accordance to hazardous area guidelines in Australia which is crucial to works being carried out in gas mining zones.
