How Are Massive Machines Repaired? | Mega Mechanics | Spark

On today’s episode: how do you tune up a giant coal mine engine under the heat of the outback? What does it take to guide a team of people through a dangerous lift? And how does a senior maintenance engineer test the engines on a powerful aircraft?
Across Australia, the wheels of industry turn 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. These machines are tough and the teams of people running them are even tougher. From deep underground, to high in the sky, these heavy metal marvels are essential to our daily lives. But, what happens when these massive machines break down? Teams of mechanics, engineers, fitters, and boilermakers step up to battle against tight deadlines, in some of the harshest working environments on the planet.

never thought that spark would clickbait for one mention of the plane

[@aussiedude3121]

Dont you know that airbus manufactures mingling vechiles as well

[@williamadon9520]

each time I see this kind of videos I fall more and more in love with mechanic engineer !

[@dadbodmtb]

Us fitters a very fond of engineers

[@mnsane8199]

Around the world with Spark media. Enjoying 😋

"Where's D plane boss??" (fantasy island ref. for us ol' heads... Lol

[@IRISHSTUBIE]

Gold!

[@glockhead4597]

That crane will never fly .

Alternative title: We don't need no stinking plane.

[@paullawtable]

Oddest airbus I have ever seen.

[@TheUglyGnome]

I wonder what is the cost per seat mile on this Airbus and how it compares to similar Boeing.

[@johnobrien9718]

Sadly, I'd rather fly on that over a Boeing plane nowadays...

[@aviatorc5065]

@@johnobrien9718 shut up with this crap already

[@TheUglyGnome]

@@johnobrien9718 Come on. Even though I consider myself as kind of an Airbus fan, I would never hesitate to fly on a Boeing plane. They are just fine.

[@johnobrien9718]

Aviator C, I'm sorry, but I just don't trust Boeing anymore. To many lies, lack of quality, ect too justify flying on their aircraft. Poorly run for YEARS, and now they want a taxpayer bailout?? Negative!!!

Kerja di tambang emang gak kenal waktu 👍👍

[@jatinkushwaha635]

Can someone tell me when does the airplane part come?

[@johntaco8408]

you needed a 50 ton crane to lift a tiny gear box?

[@alpteknbaser7773]

[@bloopnation]

I'm an DAM operator! Lol.

[@jimsvideos7201]

18 years on that gearbox? Huh.
