the company I'm working for is owned by a States company ! A lot of the biggest const. companies are now owned, or being bought out by the money from down south.

Anheuser Busch is a US owned company too.   :-|  There's some real patriotic stockholders for ya.........I hope they lost their houses and jobs in this last messm and have to live in a Volkswagen Bus down by a river.

  Next thing you know, everyone will be drivin' around in their "American made" Toyleta, b-chin' about the Chinese made Buicks and Fords.

Hazmat ? Must be something like WHIMS up here. I'm sure it would tell you not to roll around in the stuff. Had no warnings about the stuff though. I know it will kill Ducks when they swim in it .....

Only some parts are built in "plants". These parts are trucked up and then all assembeled on site , often near/at where it will be working.

The wheel one had 16KM of conveyor belt running behind it.
