Lashlander thanks for taking the time to post the info for my questions.Tricks to all trades are there!!!!!!!!:notworthy
Been busy with work,so didn't get on here until today.
GPS is changing how things are done for sure,but the old school stuff has been around for a long time and still prove it can be done.
On a different note what is hidden under the water work!
They dregded a local small lake and the guys doing the dredging was in for a surprise,when they started dredging!The lake bottom had more then they thought?Old CCC camp built lake.
It had large oak stumps under the water
,so water hides lots of things.They had one hick of a time trying to dregde with the stumps .They couldn't do the typical sweep with the dredging head because of the stumps.
They had to have the water to float the dredge,but drained it when they got done and you couldn't believe the stumps.So needless to say the GPS didn't work to good on that job.
Bet they was glad to get out of there and bet the next job time they bid things with this i mind or checks thing out better?High dollar earning curve for sure.Blow the engine in the dredge and took close to 2 months extra time to get the job done!!!!!!!!! Was getting it plugged ,plus breaking stuff on the head.
They pumped the spoils about a 1/2 to a 1/4 mile away into a holding pond for the silt to settle in.Also it was dry ,so they wasn't sure they was going to have enough water for the drege to float before they got done.
A different job,but it was interesting.Thanks again:usa
