Hi Jonathan.
I could only imagine how spending a night with you at a bonfire would look like.
Forget about all the spooky stories from you childhood - have Jonathan talk about real life!
Great job and detailed story!
Regards,
Oliver Bürkler

Re: Scanning our way up two tall towers
Haha! It's really not that bad, but we do try to keep work interesting. I guess our fear of boredom is stronger than our fear of heights. The hardwork of climbing is also a great sleep-aid

Re: Scanning our way up two tall towers
Been a while since I climbed one of these and don't think I would want to go through it again to soon.
We do scan a lot of towers like this with the C10 (heavy!).
The main issue we find is when we scan vessels this high is temperature change. Between hot and cold conditions a tower that high could be 300mm different in height! When we are running dimensional control for new refinery vessels this type of temperature calculation can be a challenge!
Great job!

Re: Scanning our way up two tall towers
Matt,
Much respect for wagging a C10 like that. I doubt I would have the physical strength to do it.
I have never had to do the temperature difference calculation, but I have heard of it and it's importance for certain things like long strait pipe runs. Fortunately I don't have to deal with it this time because the ladders start over at each section. I wonder if that topic has been discussed here before.

Re: Scanning our way up two tall towers
Brilliant Jonathan,
Hats off to you for that adventure
Actually you remind me of one of our National Treasures here in the UK: Fred Dibnah (RIP)
He knew about climbing towers and chimneys way before Health& Safety......

Re: Scanning our way up two tall towers
Jonathan, you had me at the edge of my seat the whole time! Fred Dibnah also has to deal with arm fatigue at 3:45 of the chimney video.
Living in oil country here in Alberta gives me a special appreciation of the tower climb and your point cloud at the end of the field work.
