Have you heard anything to corroborate my guess?<br /><br />Also, the wire mesh on the west excavation wall will likely become part of a wall retention/bracing system similar to what was used in Ogden for the parking structure's excavation walls; not unlike what is on the inside surfaces of the PCCT itself, albeit not nearly as permanent in its design. There has also been a drill machine on site for some time and I suspect it has been drilling angled "wells" that will be attached to the horizontal, white pipe you mention, as part of a dewatering system, also similar to what was used in Ogden. The white pipe is hooked to large pumps that suck the water out of the nearby ground, thereby eliminating water from the work area during construction, and then the water barriers take over after the structure is in place and backfilling begun.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12547616889021428676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5599222840274804102.post-80525512117030748532013-04-18T21:08:08.297-06:002013-04-18T21:08:08.297-06:00these are absolutely fantastic photos! Did you hea...these are absolutely fantastic photos! Did you hear workers on site will increase from 50 to 150 in the next few weeks?
