Iโ€™m staggered that anyone, even without formal training,would think removing the bolts from more than one leg at a time is the way.

When I first posted about this , it was more of a "this canโ€™t be true" suggestion, but no, it was real.

Someoneโ€™s head needs to roll over this imo.

Transpower's busy throwing their contractor under the ~~pylon~~ bus.

Despite them contracting to (probably) the lowest bidder and then not actually supervising said contractors.

Start with TP's CEO (they're accountable) and whomever down the chain is responsible.

We really heard it here first!

Mentioning your suggestion to a couple of people made me look like someone "in the know" when the headline came out ha ha.

Ha, ha, glad my supposition made you an "expert" ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

I think they more likely thought I'd heard Transpower gossip. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

I'm super impressed that you were able to deduce it!!!

They mention "inexperienced" workers, but this sounds more like a training issue than anything else. It can't be hard to explain to someone "don't unbolt more than one leg at a time", can it?

Sounds like some major organization needs to lose a service or maintenance contract

You would be amazed how many people don't fully listen to and internalise an instruction like that.
