Have you ever visited the fantastic Kauri Museum in Matakohe near Dargaville. They have several old Teltherm gauges in working condition on the old machinery there.
Engineers installed two fuel farms, one to fuel the private planes the other to fuel huge generators. A private airstrip of 4km long was constructed to cargo in modular sections for a gas extraction plant that was built for ExxonMobil.
A large diesel facility was also built to fuel the airfields generators.
All staff arrive and depart by site based choppers, as there is no road between Port Moresby and the site. The actual Airfield is 2 km away from the construction site (sounds close but it takes 20 minutes to get there by 4WD due to jungle roads, these are clay based and often wash away). It rains (tropical heavy rain like you have never seen) for half of each day, so its muddy, humid and hot, day in day out.
Malaria is rampant and snakes everywhere. Tribal wars are raging daily, as its one of the most violent regions in PNG. Thanks to Howard who told us about this project and the Teltherm gauges that are in the middle of the jungle.
