Hi everyone,
Firstly I apologise for my absense. Our PC at home crashed and I only have this one at the workshop. So its a little difficult getting here at the moment. Been working extreme hours for a while now, so hopefully I can get another PC real soon for home, then its back to normal.
Well I'm sure you're all aware we had another earthquake in Christchurch, a real doosie this time. It's tipped the whole country on its head.
We've all been making the most of a steady increasing workload as the economy has started to pick up, and this has happened.
We are deeply frustrated that we cant just pack up, go down and help out. I have registered with the emergency services there so they may yet call if they need us.
We have put in for explosives demolitions of unstable buildings, unstable cliffs and land formations, assistance for geotechnic investigations and research, as well as welding, engineering supplies and products.
We have also offered our spare room and 2 beds for any one wishing to leave CHCH for a break.
We are, as from the lunchtime news update, 75 deceased and 300 missing. The bloody place is a wreck.
Little fresh water , power is out, and food distribution is a problem.
The US and Australia, have been the first again to delve in deep sending specialist teams and equipment, along with Canada, Japan, Taiwan, United kingdom, and offers from Israel, and Thailand.
Unbelievable. Words just dont have it. God bless you all. You are just the most amazing people.
