Pick up 1t excavator from Coates and drive it out to site.
Pre start with all contractors. Unload 1t machine and pre start.
Get machines inducted by Scott.
Using 1t excavator on western end, use spoil from previous anchor trench to build out dirt so excavator can fit beside piles.
Wasn't quite enough dirt so track 8t excavator around the other side and throw some dirt down to 1t.
If i was to start this trench i have nowhere to put the spoil apart from where Scott needs to put his drain.
I called Scott up there to see if he wanted to install his drain first and that way we can put the spoil on top and then remove when back filling. He agreed this would be better.
We then moved onto the Northern side. Cleaned up and levelled off ground while tracking down the end.
Started trenching, ground was very hard and was very slow digging. Small teeth on bucket and big gap between teeth made it difficult. |

RA fly to Sydney then Uber out to Eastern creek to collect vehicle.
Print off drawings, load vehicle up with tools needed for job. Load up bentonite and water cart.
Drive to Gipps st arrive 12:30. Get Dave inducted, there was some issues with the online induction so took awhile.
Go up and have a look at where new trench needs to go and access. Receive 8t excavator.
Northern and Southern anchor trench there is only 1.6m gap between piles and cut out out, we will need to use a 1t excavator to fit between.
Western anchor trench there is not enough fill outside the piles. I will need to use spoil from previous trench to build out and then trench with 1t excavator. Also Glascott need to put a drain in next to the tank.
Eastern anchor trench there is only 600mm gap in some places between pile and cut out, 1t excavator will not fit so cut out will need to be extended. Scott mentioned contactors on site may be able to help with that.
Gather paper work and pre start excavator so Scott can induct machines.
Unload bentonite out of vehicle.
8t excavator not on hire list for selection. |
