Stavross 15,282 Posted October 11 Report Share Posted October 11 Back filling on the other job this morning, there’s not much we can do with this until it’s in and had time to settle, it’s very wet, luckily we can have as much free soil as we want from the works on the viaduct over the river 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stavross 15,282 Posted October 11 Report Share Posted October 11 (edited) What a bit of engineering this viaduct is, it’s 700m long, spans the river Tees, speaking to the lad on site he said they started building it in 1849 and it was open by May 1852, these lads are underpinning sections and have been on it now for 3 years and said there’s about another 10 months and they have serious machinery, the victorians had hand tools Edited October 11 by Stavross 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stavross 15,282 Posted October 11 Report Share Posted October 11 Back fill in and they can now see what the levels will be, a lot different to when we started, it gives them a big usable space now, or at least it will once it’s finished 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
