Hey there, I'm currently bidding on a job in Colorado. We'll be removing material to a depth of around 60'. 40' of that is shale. 800'(L)x600'(W)x60'(D) The GC thinks we may have to blast. I'm thinking we'll be able to rip through it with a D8 or D9 and then haul it out with 745 haul trucks and a 349 hoe. The top 20' we'll remove with scrapers. I've only been able to read the boring logs from the Geo Report and am waiting to receive the whole report. Can I get some insight from people who have a history with sitework/scraper work and dealing with shale?
Thanks,
Chad
