65,000 pound filter

this is the filter that is going at the end of some storm line we have to install for a development, its right behind a seawall, which we had to bust through to for the 24" pipe that dumps into the bay. the material i dug out for this thing was some reall wet nasty crap. the hole ended up being damn near 20'X30' for a 8'X15" structure. Thats a 90 ton crane, he lifed tha back pads a good foot off the ground at one point.

    Boy you guys have some crazy requirements up there. Crazy leaf lickers I tell ya. I was in Anacortes a couple weeks ago, looks like there's a lot going on up there these days.

    Oh you guys have the same rules we do you need a permit to FART There is so many rules and regulations it boggles your mind. You got some god **** pencil pusher thinking up new rules and regulations. Everybody is trying to cover their own ass nobody wants to take responsibilty for anything.

    Ya we have to install those too. You guys should check out the truck wheel washing station we have had to have on some export jobs. It turns on automatically to wash the dirt off the trucks leaving the job, so they don't track it out in to the street.

    I've seen those truck washing things, pretty crazy. Kinda makes sense if you're exporting thousands of tons of material via truck.

    Ya but you can easily over load them, when we have the dump sites we where doing 250-300 loads a day. With that much truck traffic there was still a wet slime for a good 250' down the road. They didn't do a bad job of washing the dust off our personal vehicles every day.:thumbsup
