Water Treatment plant job pics

Makes perfect sense Pete. Last year I worked on a landfill cell construction. Most of our fill was sand. We would spread a lift, and let the dozer man work it around. After the dozer man spread it, we would run that area down with the 627s on the way back to the cut. After we ran the area down, we would run a cat sheepsfoot vibratory roller just to kind of finish things up.

You dont want the truck drivers running over that remote control grade stake. It will shut the job down like RIGHT now.

If you're ever lost in the woods just drive a wooden stake into the ground, when the truck driver shows up to run it over, you can catch a ride out with him.
No offense to any truck drivers! Just kidding!

Like pinerider said, nuking the dirt to check density. Typical dirt cop, drives to where he wants test

Those Troxlers are heavy!, around 80 pounds or so, they have lead shielding to keep the radioactive stuff inside - you don't want to be wandering too far away from the truck with them!

They are getting ready to slip form pour 5 round tanks, the circles are 8" of base rock

DPete are you going to be around the site when they start pouring? I have always found the vertical slip forming to be very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Very interesting process, great pics!

They are going to pour the first tank on the 20th, we will be done before that. If I can I'll go up to watch the pour and take a couple pics for ya

 

[DPete]

Not what I visualized, they pour the tanks in verticle sections seperated by a neoprene seal which doubles as an expansion joint as well as seals the individual pours. The same seal is between the bottom and the walls. When one section of wall is cured enough they slide the form sideways to pour the next section. Not very good pics, best I could do.

Hi DPete,

Nice clean job. How long does it take to load your scrapers in that good material?

Around a minute we were making 5 min cycles to the stockpile about 1500 ft round trip. Hit some sugar sand at the last that slowed things down
