Average is a year, fitters probably spend 7 months there. Four working and 3 running their jib. I believe your words were that you spent last year, singular, in the shale, lol.

Each unit takes about 7 months total, rolling from one unit to the next. You don't have a frigging clue how long fitters stay there. They build 95% of what's in these units. No boilermakers, not many carpenters(for scaffold building), and the remainder are ironworkers, and laborers, and operators. All superintendents are fitters. Consult Mark West if you want to verify how long it takes to build one. I worked on # 1 and 2 on "Mobley mountain". I left about the time unit #3 was starting. Mark West is building 6 units. That's not counting all the other companies building units. You can quote an average when you are on one. I stayed from start, to finish on #1, then worked on #2 for awhile, until I found out about my present job. Like I said, You've never stepped foot on one of these units. Leave the information telling to the experts. Enjoy your retirement.
