cheers LLL
we finished leigh job off today, so thats done.
got the js130 on the glossop job filling up the levels on the 5 acre 52 house site, trying to get the work for the whole site that'll keep a few guys busy for a year or so.
most of it is little jobs digging blocked drains out patching asphalt at the mo not really picture worthy
got some more offices to build inside but its all work and money at the end of the day.

on the glossop retaining wall did you leave the existing wall in situ and tie it in to a new base?
work is work,adapt and thrive

we excavated 2m back from teh wall and 2.5m down
installed a c20 100mm cbm base
on that was a 400mm reinforced concrete slab doweled into the old excuse for a footing, with 16mm 800x800 L bars
we then installed 2m high 16mm verticals at 200 centres then 16mm horizontal distribution bars at 200 centres
i bought a £315 hilti 55mm breach bit not a core and we installed new weep holes with plastic pipe out through the new block wall that was the shutter
we then fixed wall starters at 200 centres and some bigger re bar into the old follow wall
we then built a 100mm 7 newton dense concrete wall 400mm back from the old wall, by the time wed got done this end it was more like 600mm
scaffolders built us a walkway
we then poured 10m3 c35 in 4 lifts
installed free running drainage stone and 6 inch perforated pipe
geotextile seperation layer then backfilled
bit of topsoil
job done in 3 weeks

started this, this week, house has parts that date back to 1450
has a big water problem from lantern pike above running over his old setts and then freezing into a sheet of ice
so we are redoing all the sett gullies making them deeper and sealed with mortar not soil like the old setts
old setts are just bedded on a bit of cinders on the clay still solid but you can see theyve overturned down the hill
theres water running constantly so had to divert the water with the pipe
side of conservatory going to be trough and gully
all the setts below acco are going are going to be asphalt

it seems a shame at glossop after all your excellent work to leave that dog rough old 9 inch wall there
is a pike like a stream or something?

we said the same, was a sorry story
guy bought house 20 years ago from the guy son who lives in the same row of 4 houses
surveyor at time identified wall that the homeonwer had built himself as a future problem
homeowner took out insurance and specified the wall
20 years later water pressure and shit construction and it went
the bungalow below the wall, whos garden it makes the back wall of was sold and couldn't complete because of the failing wall
insurance refused to pay, guy has had to sell the house to pay for the repair and is downsizing now
so he didnt want to pay the extra for re instatement of his garden and block or the removal of the wall

DDD's mini crusher in action
absolutely perfect for this bad access job
we had a skip full of hardcore which we crushed in 4 hours and installed into the subbase of the oversite
so pros
costs £120 crusher
labour £100
diesel £7
= £227
alternative
skip £180
labour £100
5 Tonnes of type 1 £165
= £445
so for this type of job with poor access the crusher works well
obviously not suitable for all jobs,but definitely a cachet
our scaffolder turned up and saw it in action and he wants to hire it as he has 6 outbuildings to get rid off in his yard for a new development
same scenario ,bad access so keep the gear on site crush and reuse
onwards and upwards

Shame i could not give you my latest delivery:

the operators licence kills it, along with transport costs and the 49k needed, plus insurance. There is more demand for the micro crushers than the bigger ones.
