Things have changed a bit since we built that shop. I was part of the first crew to work in the new heavy shop. Far cry from the one long bay we had in the old wood building. Wish some of my photos from then were digital, would be cool to do a then/now montage.
On our farm we put about 10.000 self tapping sheet metal fasteners on all the track lugs on our 600 steiger. Works awsome and it doesn't harm the tracks at all.
That's a great idea, and relatively cheap.
Does that machine stay on dirt or does it do any road travel?
Machinists is in title of video
Entirety of machine shop tour is "they have everything a machine shop has".
Thank God. I was afraid they were having to use sand paper to turn steel rod into parts.
Pretty sweet shop considering the location. I like how they get set up with quality tools and everything seems neat and tidy!
As an auto tech, I could have a lot of fun there. Having a machine shop is awesome in a remote area. If you don't have a part, you make it.
I couldn't imagine working on that small stuff in such a cleanly environment
Dude thanks for uploading this. I'm gonna let people know bout your channel it's actually useful.
You're welcome! I like sharing my great experiences down here!
Nice to see that the machinist keeps the door locked, I'd come in and find people in there that wasn't supposed to be in there, and stuff would wind up missing so I had to keep the place locked up.
Nice to see where I'll be working this September-Febuary....looks a lot like fleet services shop I used to work at in Columbia SC but just about 6 bays smaller
Going through welding school in April this is where I hope to work as a welder
Офигеть!!! Прям как фантастическом фильме! Браво, браво!
Bravo indeed I am the only American that can read Russian hahaha
I received an email for an interview today, I looked for a video and came across this one, hope to see you guys soon, fingers crossed
Now that's a freaking SHOP!!!
It's pretty sweet considering the location! The dealership shop im at is about 5 times the size of that shop and our parts department is about the size of that shop! UA-cam redhead equipment.....
Wish you had taken a better video of the pipe fitter shop.
But I'm happy you showed us what you did, Thanks
did anyone else notice when Steve said the big wrenches were for watch repair?
Subscribed just now. It's fantastic that you show us how these amazing people operate in such inhospitable conditions.👍
Nicee to work on equipment not covered in mud
Sweet! this is the one I've been waiting for! Thank you Sir!
Forrest Shmidl I feel you! Please make more Mr. K.
No problem!!
How often does the snap on van come?
I wouldn't mind paying the weekly truck payment down there lol
It’s called the Snap On Plane, C130 lol
No doubt! It's nice that they set their guys up with quality tools.... tidy little 8 bay shop.
It's so cold the tools are all Snapoff.
Go big red
Nice set up. I can't help but think how the crew is doing on the International Space Station ... 👍🏻
If I didn't have family to worry about I would be there in a heartbeat.
Recycling bins there have to be separated and labeled for all of the different materials so they don't get confused about which bin gets dumped into which hole in the ice
Everything fets shipped back, including the poo.
Jay Leno drove on of those Case Quadra Tracs in one of his videos.
Awesome Video!🎥
Will you make a video tour of the machine shop please
I would love to work in that tool crib up in a environment like no where else on earth
Thanks for this one K Vex!
Those guys do it all up there well done
Sno cat...they used that in "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" lol. I think I would not need standard living quarters. I'd wanna live in that building. 😁
I do facilities management and have a thing for metal..
That thing on the back of the D70 is called a ripper.
Its like ur at the ISS too. Nice.
Pretty cool stuff... No pun intended lol Thanks for sharing
Hi is there any work for heavy truck drivers, I'm based in the UK and have Class 1 with Full Hazmat, Tankers, Hiab (Truck mounted Crane) if you think that something would be available please let me know. In the meantime thanks for posting and hope all is going well for you all.
Machinists are gods there. :)
Throw in sum *electronics and perty lights & Bubba you got yourself a GOLD MINE....*
I bet
I bet they are. I would have loved to see the machine shop and see the type of machines they use.
Just applied for a machinist position down there :)
@@BananaMonstaaaa Take a god name.
I should apply to build a sauna there.
Why do you need a locked tool room on the South pole .? Do you have a pawn shop down there.?
I want to see the Ford F250's and the setup the have on the back :)
How are the buildings heated? Do they ship fuel oil? Would be very interested to see the hvac systems.
I'm interested also! @K vex, lets see the boiler plant!
Jet engines running generators
Im sure they have heated floors
how can i get a job out there as either a mech it tech or a welder? anyone have any info on that?
Apply, and have the education, degrees, or certifications (HVAC, mechanic, etc), pass intensive physical and intensive psychological exams, pass drug screens, and have a clean background check & clean arrest record, no child/animal abuse...etc. They make sure they do NOT hire potential violent, psycho people, who can handle long, lonely days. And get along with others
That tool room rivals the one I work at.
What goes on in Antarctica? Are we just there to collect data? Like from ice and soil samples?
Interesting opportunity
Oh knew you were cool. Nice Huskers shirt man
Who do I talk to about welding positions? I have 15+ years experience and fully certified with CWB tickets. Im currently running my own metal fabrication business out of Calgary, Canada.
Thanks,
John
Super cool I know that guy...
Question is could a mechanic joined your ranks that's never done heavy duty?
Sweet!
How many welders do they have down there? Also what manual welding processes do they use? Is it all stick or they use tig and mig too? I haven’t been able to find anyone who has actually welded down there yet.
what are your tours like? how long in and out?
He said he likes to look at big tools. LOL
Awsome shop 😍
Showoff the coffee pots couches and BIG wrenches instead of the boring machine shop and machine tools... so interesting??
Don't let just anybody around the machine tools! Keep that shit locked up.
Nice shop
Can you do a video on the machine shop
How much does it cost to heat that building
Who is the employer the government or is this an authorized caterpillar dealer
Govt. subcontractor, they have openings all over the globe.
oh yea heavy shop 93. 94 and 2002 to 2003
I don't know what that is but *I DO LIKE THE SOUND A THAT.* .....FN A.....
Those are 6.0 fords aren't they.
can u do more vids like this
I was there in 2005
Do you have machine shop for fabrication of certain parts or tools that aren't fast enough to arrive if ordering it such things
Instead of waiting a same material can be fabricated
I'm mostly interested in the machine shop *machine shop closed* :(
Hi am havy equipment and diseal engine maintenance engineer..I want job
Nebraska!!!!
A shop where they do repairs.
How do you apply for a job like this??
how much money does a welder/pipefitter make there?
5:30 wood chipper will always have electrical issues
WELL ABOVE *THE TREE LINE???*
That’s a really bad problem to have on an electric dozer. Not like there’s a Cat dealer nearby either
I need job
Will you still call it the heavy shop thus were they have you equipment was but it looked in better shape what I work down there the Floors We're in a really good shape they're a pain it And they don't show the overhead Crane that they had I think they had to open I worked at facilities and we subdue the peons all
How do u go about getting a job down there
This is probably a far stretch but do you know if there exists any type of engineering internships existing down there or anyone I could contact for such possibility?
Go big red!
Whats the $$$ for being isolated in said cool ass shop.
Also duration?
How do you get a job there?
2:22 - 2:30 That's what she said.
Nice shirt GBR
Please tell me where I can apply, yes im serious
Bro how to apply job on your company. Bytheway nice vdeo . 👍👍
I am still questioning why Lockheed is needing 1000 job req's for Antarctica. I don't think they are opening a Disneyland and last I heard Lockheed wasn't that into watching penguins. It's not what they do.
What is the average pay for these jobs? Ie mechanic, equipment operator, ECT.
Dude finger on Equipment Operator and HE Mechanic right close pay wise...
I'd like to know that also. I work on the same stuff
These guys would be making more than the average mechanic/operator do to the location. I'd say around 100k yr
@@recklessgamers69 No. pay is very similar to back in the US, not even close to 100k though. but food and housing is provided and no fuel bill so a lot of your money stays in the bank
@TheTruthQuest123 USA pays shit that's why lol this must be an American company then cuase 22 an hour for an experience heavy equipment mechanic is garbage pay
Since when did Antarctica have any more than research facility's? Looks like something big going down?
As long as there's been research there's been machinery.
What are you doing in Antarctica? Many Greetings from Sweden.
2:20 watch repair office lmao
I am interested. How to apply
hi i am johnesmar mante from philippines looking for a job as and auto electrician i have already a passport
2:25 that's what she said
how do i apply
2:20-2:25 Just picture getting Hit with that shit . dammm .
Ah. Hermie the Herman Nelson
That's a government shop.
You a Husker?
you from nebraska?
Why do Americans have to describe weight as thousands of pounds, Whats wrong with tons?
Because we do what we want...murica!
Not any mention of pay rate on the entire site. It's kind of important.
Close-guarded seccret, and I'm sure they wanna keep it that way.
@@842qwery well, that's fine.
@TheTruthQuest123 You gotta be kidding!!. , in my neck of the woods a Diesel apprentice makes around $19, a journeyman about $28 and the Master techs around $40.00. I would guess them Antartica techs should be in the $60.00/hr range, plus per diem and hazard pay at least.
@TheTruthQuest123 22 American dollars?? Lmao!!!! That's base pay for entry level mechanics.
@TheTruthQuest123 there's your problem. Firestone and the like aren't professional jobs. They're parts changing at best. You need to look towards fleet and equipment repair jobs if you want to make any money.
I'd love to hear the guy GIVING the tour. Barely audible. Let him talk, please.
What a facility. What do they do there?
AT 0:13 THAT'S A CHICK LEADING THE WAY. I hit the wrong button so.... this will be fast. I was over on the D8 Multiple Living Area sled getting moved by a MASSIVE D8. *Yes Sir I am having me a MIGHTY FINE TIME.* Not to worry youngsters I am no threat to y'all. *Unless a course those young ladies prefer sum grey hair+40yr experience of Hoocheecoo know what I mean?!?*
