Engineers are not the ones doing the cutting That is done by technicians, welders and maybe other experienced hands-on trades. Engineers are educated to degree level or above and would be doing the stress analysis on the bridge members before cutting. Most engineers wouldn't know how to operate a cutting torch, these are different jobs. From what I have seen so far the above water cutting has been done using oxy-acetylene cutting torches, although these won't work under water.

@lmbear

Ай бұрын

Good post. There is definitely a huge difference between the engineers and welders doing the work here. I'm a structural steel worker with about 30 years of marine industry welding and fabrication under my belt. We used to make fun of Engineers because a lot of them don't have the "hands on" experience that we do. What looks great on paper, sometimes does not work in real life. That's just how it is. A welder/fabricator who has done a lot of repair work on vessels, where you are cutting through "loaded" steel is who should be cutting on those bridge pieces. It's not for the faint of heart either. You have to know what the metal is going to do, when you sever each piece. Often times, that has to be analyzed and worked out in your head, before each cut. And even then, sometimes the spring of the steel that is under pressure can be an eye opener. It's always exciting though, and can be very dangerous. Not a job for a newbie, for sure. I pray for the safety of the workers, and hope they have the skills necessary to complete the job in a timely manner and without any injuries!!

Absolutely. I'm a mechanical engineer with 40 years experience designing large scale infrastructure. You and I do completely different jobs, but equally essential.
