You wouldn't want to park on the yellows it's a coppers house and minimum inboard cuts

[haggistini]

@Dave
That looked like a messy job, i bet a few f-bombs were flying about when the wind hit!

@Hagg
looks good

It was but it all came right in the end, which was a relief

[lutonlagerlout]

not keen on that hump by the door haggis
I know why its there but it displeases my eye looking at it :;):
who designed a 600mm wide band detail at the threshold?
I can see the skill and graft in whats been done but it looks OTT from here
cheers LLL

its been a busy week, 200 tons mot in, a patch of contaminated ground thats gone off for sampling, all proof rolled, just started levelling it tonight, had a puncture and a track off each machine

i have a new favourite thing the remote controller roller really is mega compaction and go anywhere, can stay in machine throw mot in layers and roll










contaminated land sealed and fenced



smell like old creosote this is a factory thats made brake linings since 1934, they have permanent asbetos team in residence



3.5x3.5x2m deep bit for robot footing



old exterior wall on a spread footing in clay never moved



20 tons of concrete in the bottom big bits broken and consolidated with the hammer

3.5x3.5x2m deep bit for robot footing

forgive the ignorance, but is that 2m deep of concrete?

[ambient]

how come you didnt crush the concrete giles and re-use it ?

[GB_Groundworks]

no 300mm of a393 reinforced crete on top of 2000mm of the granular fill its super solid, that rammax is the mutts nuts i want it

ambient becuase it all getting crushed by a demo contractor when half the factory gets crushed, b. i dont like crushed concrete c. i dont know anyone with a suitable sized crusher d. i can buy fresh limestone mot for £7 a ton delivered, crushing cant compete with that when theres no muck away costs. and proper stones only £7 a ton, e. the health and safety and dust control night mare of crushing on a cdm site, i leave that to the demo boys with there 50 ton crusher

[lutonlagerlout]

£7 a tonne

It would take too much time and slow the job to crush up the arisings for reuse.

Also the reasons Giles gave too, CDM etc etc

[ambient]
