Construction in Iraq

I haven't posted for awhile. Got pretty busy with the work, and I have to find a computer that will let me post to the blog. Anyways here a few pictures of around the base and some of the construction we have been doing. This is just an old Iraqi MIG fighter that is currently in our gravel pits. The Iraqi air force left in a hurry.

This is our concrete batch plant. It is very modern in Iraq, but no where near what is in the states. This is where we make our concrete for our projects on the base. Off in the distance is some of Al Asad Air Base.

This is a picture of the front door to the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, Iraq. I had the opportunity to come visit here and see the palace that the Embassy is located in. It is huge inside. Lots of decorative art with brass and gold.

Here is the Oasis located behind the U.S. Embassy. This is where all the diplomats and officials get to relax after traveling around Iraq. Pretty nice for the area.

This is our contractor pouring some concrete. The back their dump trucks up and just dump the concrete out and let the paver do the work. We are pouring a aircraft apron for C-5's to park and unload. It has to be done soon for the redeployment of troops.
