Did anyone see mega structures on TV last night featuring the Olympic Stadium AKA the "Birds nest". Absolutely Incredible
The amount of steel and of course welding that went into that place was immense. I was surprised to see a lot of guys hanging like spiders from the structure welding it up with what appeared to be mig's - I expected all the stick welders but mig's?
400 welders working round the clock for 3 days!
I was amused that one of the engineers complained about the welded joints saying that they were too smooth
Well worth seeing!
