Very, nice, just ran into another one here in Denver this week. A PC800 digging in a slurry wall around a gravel pit.
What are you containing with the 130' deep wall? and the 1466 wall?

G We actually have a guy from Denver helping out on the job this week with testing!! The walls are being placed inside the geometry of the levee along the Sacramento River and adjacent river overflow sloughs.

Nice to see Raito’s Nippon Shario drills in action again. I can't believe all these years later they are still building so any slurry walls along the rivers there. I think we built something like 50 miles of slurry walls on the American river over the last 15 years.
As far as the guy from Denver if you talk to the Raito guys a lot of their head guys in the US are from Colorado, Wyoming and Idaho as they all started with them on their first US job which was on the dam in Jackson Hole years ago. Then a few more guys got on from Boston during the big dig.
As far as the dozer in the mud he is just mixing Bentonite with the native soil which will be dumped back into the trench.

Great pictures, can anyone please explain the perch and cable setup on that 1466? I'm only guessing but I'd suggest that it adds rigidity through the central chassis by connecting the rear of the CW and the boom mounting points? That's a pretty serious LR setup so I guess the machine would need some strengthening? Rowan.
