No photograph today, tho' I must admit it would have been good to have taken a few. The guys on the machines worked flat out all day and the "87" platform on which the Phase 1 project is going to be built has more-or-less been completed.
Tomorrow the men will make a start on the "88" platform on which the carpark will be situated.
I am amazed at the sheer volume of soil that is being moved.
I was chatting with Andrew Slevin whose company is doing the earth-moving, he told me that the the reason that the pile of removed soil looks so much greater than the hole from which it was taken, is that, when the soil is loosened it takes up 1.4 times the space it took up when it was undisturbed. We have a veritable mountain of the stuff which Peter B is going to have spread out for the landscapers to get busy with.
Why no photos? The wind - and how it blew! Nett result is that there is dust EVERYWHERE!
