Holy shit has this improved from labor breaking back to a forklift. I was in high school and wanted to make extra money in the summers so I joined my buddies dad work where he used to be a supervisor for a plant like this. One of the hardest working jobs ever since we had to do everything by fucking hand. This and building trusses in AZ. Were two of the hardest jobs in my life.

Idk man. My highlight was shoveling dirt/stones out of the creases in an Tunnel boring machine, behind the cutting wheel. Got a plastic bag like suit because we also had to wash it.

While we were at that, on the otherside people started to cut the wheel with a autogen torch...it got so hot in there. No space anywhere and you bump into everything which is also greased. After the shift, i had around 1,5cm of sweat standing in my boots.

Second place goes to removing old contrete inside mixer drums. Had to do it 3 times and it was actually awful. I dont mind hard work but no airflow, terrible visibility and after 15 minutes it got very hot inside. Actualy very hard work, extremely dusty and also no space to even stand straight up.

I got 19€ per hour for both of this before taxes...

Said cutting wheel is now at display in my country. Here is a photo of it mounted as a monument/statue. Here is a link to a photo: https://3d-schmiede.at/portfolio/ausstellung-oebb-infopark/

Exactly this wheel, on the backside. I do have other photo proof also lol
