... to concentrate on his job...

Had to oversee a construction site today... next to the runway of EBOS - Ostend airport...

I was welcomed by this sight...



Finally a closer view on the bird I see on approach on a regular basis from my office window...



About on hour later the started taxiing...



Passing me on merely 100 m...



She took off with a mighty roar! Amazing...

But then again... there was a job at hand... so back at bussiness before someone connect something the wrong way...





Sorry 'bout the crappy quality... but it's the best the compagnies Ixus 430 could do given the circumstances...

I was further distracted by a 737-200 ( man, those little ones come in fast and the noise they make! Unbelievable!), a Beechcraft Kingair... a 747 from Saudian Airlines and several GA planes... lovely...

What do yo do for living? I'm also into construction...almost.  ;)

By the looks of things he installs septic tanks. How I wish that not to be true.

LOL. Hmmm... Nice aircraft!
EBOS, thats the city where I was born!

Good to see you have your priorities right Omag.

Well done.

SEPTIC TANK! Blasphemy! That's one state off the art water-treatment plant... we don't just collect crap... we deal with it too...  ;D

Hey Mr. Bones... I sell watertreatment-systems... mainley domestic wastewater and rainwater-treatment...

Any photos of the Kingair?

Nope, sorry... but... I'm expecting a brand new camera this weekend... should be waaaaay better than the ixus... I love birthdays... And I still have to start the installation up... so who knows... more to follow...  ;)

Scene from the movie "Full Metal Jacket"



Just felt like saying it after Omag's last comment. LOL

This photo series misses one of you standing in one of those tanks with a thumbs up and a huuuuge grin on your face.

Not so bad installing new waste-treatment systems... servicing them, on the other hand...  :-X
A noble profession, either way.

I'm curious: what size building or house is that system for? It's obviously much smaller than a municipal plant, but seems pretty big for a house.

This one treats the water of 16 Inhabitant equivalents... wich means it can treat the waterflow a day produced by 16 persons.

In this case it's a farm with touristic accomodations. So there's more wastewater than in your average household ( 4-6 IE)

The tank with the lid on is the pretreatment and equalisation bassin. Here the solids and floatable stuff gets divided from the water using gravity. it also collects the peakflows that come in.

The second tank (open) is the bio-reactor. Here a biomass will be formed ( natural bacteria etc...) in a highly concentrated state. By adding air to the mixture, these bacteria will consume the waste from the water, as an energy source. Hence the water is treated and after a sedimentation period, the upper layer off clear water is pumped out of the plant...

Really simple actually... until you have to design one of these babies... glad we work together with a German firm... so we know it's quality...  ;D

I had a job installing circuits and voice switches for a water company. I had the pleasure of a visit to a "sludge incinerator". Have you ever seen and smelled the collected solid waste of a few cities on a conveyor belt?

Can someone put up the barf smiley for me?
