Gets a phone call from my best customer Friday night, All site as gone Down no power anywhere, so after going through a few things on the phone it becomes clear it's the HV side, so told him to call western power who roll up at about 7pm that night , yeah deffo HV but not our side you will have to get your private HV company down.
Anyway up at 5.30 to get down and meet the Hv guys that deal with the site, I get met by the regular ground works crew and boss that's been down with me since October 2015 ( This is a massive project and will run until October 2017)
The poor sod had been up all night unable to sleep presuming it's one of his lads that's done something wrong ( Trenches all over site for obvious ground works ) Anyway HV Lad turns up at 9am Saturday and resets both HV Breakers ( 2 x 1000 kva Transformers ) Puts it down to a damaged emergency trip circuit with it taking both Breakers out and buggers off. We stayed on site until about 1pm doing other bits.
So there I am last night watching my Gold Rush boxset at 1am and I get a text message come through from estates manager begging me to ring him back if at all possible, I'm then on phone with him until 1.45 am, it's gone again, after going through all options he decides to wait until this morning to try and get them back down and puts me on standby ( It's worth noting customer is over an hour away with no traffic.
So off to bed I went at 2am, ----ed and turned all night and woke up at 7.30 rang him to find out the HV team were on their way to sort it and I didn't need to come. I am now sat here like a Zombie and don't know whether I need sleep or not.
What a weekend
