What is wrong with these people? 3 years to evaluate cooling towers? 20 years to clear the ducts?
I could google “cooling tower” and have an answer within 10 minutes.
I could hire some unemployed folks and machines and clear those channels in 6 months.
Does anyone have the cojones down there to put money and effort into these problems?
Damn.
