This shoot followed Lean Field Development's installation and supply of 171km FlexPipe Linepipe and fibre optic cable throughout the Cooper Basin in South Australia in 2012. Part One of this series focuses on the human element of the installation, as without the skills of the crew involved, this job would not be possible. The desert is overbearingly hot, with swarms of flies constantly testing your patience, but the teamsmanship and dedication of these guys proved to overcome the conditions, turning it into a pretty slick operation. Many thanks to the crew at http://www.leanfd.com.au for taking me around the desert and forcing me on a helicopter for the first time.
