Might look around gillet. A inspector just left my house 10 min. ago said he was supposed to be there monday.

Gillett has a new power plant going in right now. Its a ground - up build so theres gonna be a lot of work on that one.

Thanks fellas.  I am not a big fan of Gillette but if I can't come up with anything in Casper area it's always a option that I won't rule out.  Beggers can't be choosers right! lol  Thanks again.

You might try Elkhorn Construction....I think they have something going closer to Douglas.

No, sorry.  I'm a third party guy, and my clients are all shops.  I do understand they are testing now, but no more details....

My husband is wanting to get into this field , he has operated his own welding business for 20 years, and wants to get a better paying job as a welder... How can he get his foot in the door.... He wants to go in Wyoming, North Dakota, Montana, or even Utah any leads on who he should call?  Email address is rgwelding@msn.com. Home number 406-821-3250..

It sounds like the project is at a plant at Natural Bridge, and could last 3 months.  Were you able to track Elkhorn down for details?

I got tied up in a small job that is close to home. This job should only last a couple weeks then I will get a hold of someone from there.  Thanks for all the help.  This is such a great forum!

Thirdeye,

FEI is an AISC certified structural steel/bridge shop at Natural Bridge, Va...is that the plant you speak of?
Parent - - By thirdeye (***) Date 07-22-2008 12:36
Hey John,



The Natural Bridge I'm talking about is a county park along the Oregon Trail, just off I-25 in central Wyoming.  The "plant", (same word but way different meaning from what you had in mind) is a natural gas processing plant which operates on one of the major pipeline corridors near there.  Basically, natural gas is gathered from smaller fields in small diameter pipelines, then moves to a larger delivery system which takes it to a major marketing "hub".  A typical system needs pressure "boosters", compressor stations, and gas plants.

Unfortunately, with the current energy boom in Wyoming, our natural gas volumes are too large for some of the current transportation systems, so there is a lot of work at these types of locations.
