This is a 7 kilometer project in the Okanagan Valley that will four lane a windy section of road. Been going on since Jan 08. They have to move 1,000,000 m3 rock and 800,000 m3 dirt . Interesting to watch the progress. First picture is from Dec 08. How good are you? What size is the Komatsu that is hidden by the berm?

    Not bad for a guess! Last picture is 4 New Caterplllar 775F Haul trucks being assembled early in the project.

    This picture is from across Okanagan lake and shows the construction area (red dots). The lake is 90 miles long.

    Is there a attachment on that Hitatchi or am I seeing things ??

    The Hitachi has a rock drill on it. I don't know if it's cuz i only found the company yesterday or what, but i think it is a Traxxon TR EX 2000. The coincidence would be a little more than odd...
