Because the refinery is being doubled in size the township is also having to be doubled in size to house everyone and so there is building work going on all over the place. But scaffolding never looked like this in the UK or America for that matter!! Hard hats are not seen very often either. And only limited amount of machinery. As much work as possible is done by hand with men and women working as labourers and lifting heavy weights. The women bring their small children with them as well. There are some accidents but not nearly as many as you think there ought to be given the attitude on the building sites to health and safety issues.
