In-plants Off The Beaten Path
Of course, there are trade-offs. Temperatures this past winter plunged to -40 degrees, Fraser says—though he insists that was no big deal.
"Forty below isn't bad," he contends. "It's when it gets down to 60 below, that's when you've really got to start watching it."
Arctic winters aside, living in a remote location like Fairbanks isn't easy if you happen to be an in-plant manager, like Fraser. Simple services that managers in more populated areas take for granted, like overnight deliveries and easy access to equipment repair technicians, become drawn-out, expensive ordeals.
