Free The Map Part 3: Kuwait Part B

from Geospatial FM Hosted by Wilfred Waters

Caution - this episode contains some details of suicides that happened when I worked at Amec Foster Wheeler in Kuwait. If you need it, these are helplines you can call for the top 5 most popular countries for this newsletter: USA: 988 for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. UK: 111 for the NHS. Canada: 988 for the Suicide Crisis Helpline. Australia: 1300 22 4636 for Beyond Blue. India: 9820466726 for Aasra. Continuing the testimony regarding my career in the worst country to be an expat, Kuwait. Until I joined Jacobs later on, I would also have contended it was at the worst place to be a consultant - Amec Foster Wheeler. We went in to the weeds geospatially finally! Here is a link to the Mapillary track, showing the security workers at the first gate on the road to GC 31. This is AMEC's office at GC-31 - https://maps.app.goo.gl/mwe8FrhLCKyiY8318. This is the other gathering center they were working on in North Kuwait, GC-30: https://maps.app.goo.gl/GAsQJdn1yXNVB8Pu9. For the separate video I made years ago animating the safety and other violations mentioned at these sites: https://youtu.be/9Ko-vrcIgEk?si=-MvPPxkslS-WgWtZ. For the video uploaded years ago about my site visit to verify the circumstances of the fatal car accident at GC-31: https://youtu.be/Deg64MWKSsI?si=rKQUpyxBoDjUCjXo. For a speech I gave in 2019 summarizing all this stuff at Spatial Information Day in Adelaide, South Australia: https://youtu.be/q-xkK3tKlpk?si=AyJcviEJ7F0Xq3wP.
