You are after all supervising other equipment operators.

If a guy does this,I take pictures,fill out about 50 reports and wave goodbye to the "equipment operator".
I got used to the ignorance a long time ago.When I try and explain whats really happening in the field I get called a company lackey or friend of big oil.
Yet it's me who gets the ****e when someone hits a pipe,not the company.
I could have went to fort mac last week stripping topsoil but chose to go build pads and access roads for powerline structures on the side of the mountain near Banff,Canmore and Kananaskis country instead.
Mondays project is right below Nakiska ski hill,cougar country big time and I dont mean the 4 legged ones!;-);-)
With only 8000 wells to be drilled next year I thought I would diversify my portfolio and get some good experience with the powerline part of Alberta's energy industry,Were only a small crew with a 140 zero swing hitachi,a 200 and a 230,d7,RT hoe and 2 hammers,we have been doing all the structure sites in the pass and Canmore this summer.I may just stay doing this untill the patch picks up again,the coug's make it all worthwhile.;-)

Of course...of course... you 2 are so much smarter than biologists and such.....what ever you say.
Kryptic ...go read any of the studies linked to in this thread. They show that both of you are wrong. If you don't know what nutrient cycling means, then you should probably shut your ignorant trap about making things better, and continue pushing the levers on your Tonka trucks.
"Plants need nutrients from the soil to grow, just like people need food. Soil nutrients mostly come from the breakdown of mineral-bearing rocks and from organic matter, which comes from the decomposition of plants and animals. The nutrients that plants get from the soil are stored in all plant tissues, such as leaves, stems and flowers. When these tissues fall to the ground they start to break down, and together with decomposing dead insects, dead animals and animal feces, they are eventually re-incorporated into the soil by rainfall and earthworms. There, the organic matter is further broken down and slowly transformed to become nutrients that are available to growing plants (and the cycle continues)."
yeah, I plagiarized that. But at least you know now, Tonny.
Moving the soil sure does mess up that cycle. Refer to my last point about farming and gardening.

No ger,your just like some of the idiot farmers I have to deal with,your mostly ignored by the peeps that actually have some knowledge about this stuff,stick to furnaces mon ami,that's your forte.;-)
roflmao.....yup....you got him pegged....dead on..... it's f*ckin amazing how smart you guys are.
We know that,your like the ignorant farmer that wants a sympathy dugout,stick to furnaces ger.
He would go broke if it wasnt for clean burning natural gas:lol:
Too funny!
I bet he has mutual funds in the "tarsands" also.
I'll bet $5.00 on it.;-)
of course.
Ummmmm....what should I do with my inter provincial mechanics liscence and my degree in computer science?
What degrees or licenses was it again that you and kryptic had? What kind of post secondary education did the 2 of you recieve? I assume with your vast knowledge of reclamation technology that ya's both have at least a masters in some kind of biology.....right? From the University of Calgary?, Alberta?
Last thing you want ger is some kid with a "degree" out inspecting equipment operators digging hot lines,get a clue bud,thats a job for peeps that have been running equipment for 30+ years.
The school types just watch us.
but but but,,..... you 2 are telling us that you KNOW all about reclamation....what is right and what is wrong.....how to make everything as good or better than it was before.....
