Working on a Westinghouse 501 gas turbine. The location is secret and the techniques are generic. It is just to give you a glimpse of a day in the life of a Millwright.
This is a Westinghouse 501 gas turbine. Millwrights work on a lot of different equipment, but a lot of the tools are the same whatever you're doing. I'll be posting more videos soon.
Just watched a few of your c3 videos and saw this in your Playlist. I'm a retired crane operator and had the pleasure working with men in your field over the years. We had a crane that looked just like the one in this clip.( 90t Grove.)
Good crane operators are a necessity in this line of work. Without the crane these jobs would take months instead of weeks. One of our recent jobs took 50 tractor trailers just to bring in the crane.
@@michaelroice One of the problems that happens alot is when power plants are designed, the "engineers" forget that one day maintenance will be required. The limited access results in needing massive cranes to handle the weights at a greater radius. Not only that, but most power plants adhere to a "safety factor" WAY beyond the crane manufacturer's load chart specification.
Is this high desert power plant in Victorville? I ran scaffold for Apache in 2023 major outage.a good buddy I met there is offering me work for Milwright here I am trying to see what I can pick up
Always curious on what the daily tasks looked like. Always seemed odd you guys are lumped in with carpenters in the union. Thank you for the quick look.
Most plants don't allow pictures or video, so clips like this are rare. The plants that will allow pictures require that you don't show any facility equipment, personnel, layouts, processes, proprietary stuff and the list goes on.
Thank you so much for this. I want to be a millwright and seeing videos like this makes me want it even more. Love and respect from South Africa🇿🇦
It's good money, any where in the world,
Starting my Union millwright apprenticeship in April! Loved the video

This is really nice of you to show this. Very inspirational for young people whose in the Mechanical engineering field.🍻🙌

Are you a journeyman
I’ve been a millwright for over twenty years. It’s one of the few jobs a man can make over $100k with just a high school diploma.
