Comments

I worked with jimmy on the Northconnex tunnel. The man literally gave the raincoat of his back to give to me after knowing me for only two days. Was a man that everyone looked up too and sad to have lost him

All to often these critical pieces of infrastructure are named after people in public life. its about time we remember those that build these projects and sadly lose their lives in doing so.
we must remember them.

This man was a senior figure in the industry. Lost his life on this project. It’s the least they could do to name that tunnel after Uncle.

I worked at NCX and met Jimmy in Coal he was a legend in our industry and it would be great to see his name on that tunnel.

I went to the same school as Dallas growing up. Like his Dad, my Dad worked on the Clyde Dam too. I now work for a large roading construction company and I think it is every worker's right to go home to their family at the end of the day. This tribute would be fitting recognition for Dallas' Dad's sacrifice.

I didn't know Jim Adams personally but I've worked in tunnels and underground coal and it's blokes like Jim who make these projects possible. He sounded like a real top bloke - who gave so much to the industry. I'm more than happy to sign this petition for Jim and his family.and the tunnelling industry.
