| “I am responsible for ensuring the work that the American people are paying for is being completed,” Adlard said. “I act as the construction manager for a natural gas liquids (NGL) plant, a natural gas liquids/liquid petroleum gas (NGL/LPG) plant, and an LPG bulk storage facility," he said. Adlard works on a daily basis with five Iraqi engineers who each work at the various plants in his area "I help them to understand the work that is being completed so they can effectively make daily reports. I also instructed them on our inspection and test planning processes,” he said. Working with the Iraqi engineers is something which Lamoureux also takes pride in as well. He said teaching the Iraqis about the benefits of proper use of safety equipment is particularly rewarding. “We’re making a difference over here,” he said. “And I believe in what we are doing. The projects I’m working on will have a positive impact on the future of Iraq. Oil is their major export, plus they need to be self sufficient in LPG. The things I’m working on will make that a reality.” More at link |
