Tuesday in Haiti - Getting closer

Today was Tuesday and the teams made great progress.  Once Tom got back to the compound from ElMeco Supply in Port au Prince, we had enough wire to complete all of our long runs out to the main service pole.  These wire pulls were made easy by use of the fine equipment available to us here at YWAM.

The rope was attached to a skid loader and I was able to back up the entire distance, keeping an eye on the guys feeding the wires into the conduit.
The Linemen did their work of setting poles with the help of a nice JCB Telehandler.

We installed a ChemRod ground rod system, which should do well for grounding the electrical system.

Tomorrow we hope to make the connections on all of the wires we pulled today.  We will move on from that to helping hang some of the triplex wiring that will feed the other areas.  An existing Solar/Inverter system in operation at the school will likely be relocated to the new shop building.
We feel we are right on schedule with the project an we are hoping the generators cooperate with us in that they start without any issues.
