UNDT NOW VE DRILL


This bad boy is drilling very large post holes.


The slender pole next to the drill filled with dirt is the tamper.
The medium sized skip loader partially hidden behind the drill is
poised to scurry in, dump some rock and the tamping thingie  will vigorously pound the rock into the very large post hole.  Then they will move on to the next series of three holes, once these are filled with rock, and cement and re bar they will hold a combined weight of 750,000 lbs each.  I could feel the pounding clear into medical records.

Well boss lady was out and another lady was out with bad tooth so I'm thinking the situation will not improve much today. Also I noticed that I could hear the pounding at my house. RIA

Jessas, how long will the boys still play around in their sandpit?

Until they run out of dirt, I think they are almost through actually removing but now are bringing in different dirt for the stabilization process. When the big one hits from the Cascadia subduction zone hits just 20 miles off our coast we won't so much as shimmy. RIA
