What the cost, including insurance, both for the work and afterwards, for a gas run? $2k for some home work is nothing.

Cost is to do some task.

Running costs.

True, but it should be possible to say the average cost is $10,000 according to the last N similar operations. In the event of something abnormal occurring, you might require an extra $25,000 for this and that, and if the shit hits the fan, expect $250,000 for extreme lifesaving effort.

from $2 to $80 or $90 is a big business when it's with tonnes, this explain why it's a dangerous work!

It costs to run and it costs a lot

Yes. Instead of the variable cost of a human, it's just the variable cost of maintenance + gas.

Can you give an estimate of what the cost is per run?

the cost of parts and labour.

How much does it cost to run?

I'm willing to bet these numbers include the cost of 'included' maintenance/service.

Labor costs?

How do you calculate the "full cost" of having staff on call 24/7, well maintained equipment that's regularly inspected, building inspectors to verify that fire code is being met to keep usage down to sustainable levels, and so on? The full cost isn't $10k in salary and gasoline and foam, it's millions.

I meant for the labor components of the "build", not maintenance, costs.

Wow, I had no idea the fixed cost ran that high. That is very enlightening.

And some $100+/hour consulting/maintenance, of course.
