Much of this equipment is left over from the Canadian Trans Mountain Pipeline. The pipeline was built in 1952. Note that is entirely within the year, not started in one year and finished umpteen years later. It was completed in less than a year. It is 700 miles long and runs from Edmonton, Alberta, across the Rocky Mountains to Vancouver, British Columbia.

A second pipeline was recently laid alongside the original. The new line has almost double the capacity of the first one.

Uniberp replies with a link to a TikTok video:
Sometimes he does a live stream, which I have found mesmerizing for a few minutes until I start to feel vicarious exhaustion and hopelessness.

I enjoyed watching these guys digging a road in Turkey:

These guys are pulling a bulldozer out of the mud.

I am amazed by how thin those cables are. They don't look to be more than 3/4 of an inch thick and they are lifting that multi-ton bulldozer. It is Cambodia, so maybe they are working a little closer to the edge. Shoot, we probably have guys here doing the same kind of sketchy looking things. A 30 ton load will break a 3/4" steel cable. This bulldozer, a Shantui DH17, weighs about 9 tons, so they should be okay. A 3 to 1 ration is not the normal safety factor of 10 to 1, but at least they are not on the hairy edge.
