That’s an awful amount of rigs that are parked/ stored outdoor exposed to the weather. SOC truly needs a large warehouse to store all their specialized equipment , central located in the city easily accessible to major roads and highways in the western Queens area.…Astoria , LIC, or Maspeth.
SOC isn’t going anywhere and is only getting bigger. Could even move SOC tools in there too.

Out of curiosity, does anybody know what the staffing is at SOC Island? Off the top of my head:
- RB (2)
- CTU (4)
- TAC1 (1)
- SOC Compressor (1)

Is there more? Do SOC Logistics and the Dewatering Unit have dedicated staff?

Im pretty sure they also just have a couple of people that just sit there, probably on light duty

 

[TLTruckie]

SOC Compressor, Logistic , Dewatering , all maned 27/7 with light duty FF. Also light duty FF in the SOC tool room doing repairs , picking up & delivering tools. Nobody is “just sitting there “.

The rolloff truck ,hook truck and spider truck also at SOC Island ,NOT manned 24/7.
Skid steer & collapse PODS too.

Are they light duty SOC FF or gen-pop FF?

Nobody is “just sitting there “.

Didn't necessarily mean they were sitting there doing nothing...

 

[SYRACUSETRUCK3-2010]

Roll Off ...I know
Hook Lift ....I know
Spider Truck ???? I don't know

Also are there plans to build a bigger building or add an additional one....seems like a lot more then I imagined sitting outside and not on shore power

Could the MCI Poss (5-poss 1 for each borough), Skid steer Pod and Collapse Pods be put somewhere else considering that's about maybe 8 or more pods and they aren't stacked

It just doesn't seem like everything would fit there......
