The company I work for is headquartered in Kansas...but we have done millions of dollars in work related to fracking.
Directly, we design water lines to get to the wells, and we design man camps for the workers....in North Dakota.
Indirectly, the North Dakota DOT is flush with money and we have done a lot of work for them, I have designed residential subdivisions near Williston,
and then there’s rail - facilities in TX to load sand on trains...facilities in ND to load oil on trains...and all kinds of stuff in between.
I doubt much of our work would be counted in these jobs numbers...but fracking has been huge for this little company a thousand miles away from the oil patch.
One of many companies...
