Worked for Advanced Steel Recovery and Fastek on assignment for demolition services in Mare Island Ca, Laughlin Nv, and Mead Wa.
When not on a demolition assignment, I would be dispatched to locations to help setup or maintain and service heavy equipment. Would also be dispatched to demolition sites to train individuals how to use Fastek machinery.
Each location had its own unique requirements ranging from shipbreaking and dry dock’s to building demolition and Excavation and dirt work.
