hvy 1ton ยท 2008-07-09 00:39

This is a project that has been going on since the end of the normal school year here a KU. Tearing up the old stone tunnels and putting performed concrete. Those tunnels were cool, i won't admit how i know.The main contractor is Barge-Turley with a couple of trucking companies moving dirt offsite. Haven't had much time to take pics with a 8am calc class every day, but i've got a few. I keep meaning to get a couple of the E240B working for dirtman. It started getting interesting when the 650 showed up about two weeks ago, now its in high gear.

    did you ever take any more pics of this job? Is it done now? Looks like it was an interesting job.
