Not the nicest part of Cheshire I must admit.. I did tell them not to go for a swim in it.

Finished off on the campsite after being there for 3 months with a large crate soakaway
3.4m deep hole crates stacked up to 2.4 high by 2.4m long by 1.2m wide
Wasn't getting down there so leveled off 32mm clean with digger and laser checked
We built the compleat sack up on the ground and lowered in bottom row was double clipped top and bottom with rope tied to bottom row and fed up through each layer worked a treat

Not something I know anything about (nice square hole though!) - don’t they need wrapping before backfilling though?

Was going to say the same thing? Always encase them in geotextile

Nice job
Exactly what I do on a smaller scale. Except I gift-wrap the sides before dropping it in the hole.
Then remove the ropes from the big hook and cover the top in geo

Wrapped after pic was taken bottom don't need doing
Hole was big enough it just dropped down the sides with a little help on corners with laser staff

Digger maintenance day today. Been fixing the crappy blade extensions on the E10.
It's the first time I've had the welder cranked up to the max and I'm not sure if it really is 200A.

are you not meant to wrap this with membrane prior to lowering in ?
BC allways insist on it to stop them filling up with mud/pea gravel.

Never used them here but If the bottom is clean and sides wrapped how can gravel get in ?

Was wrapped over top and down sides bottom don't need it as crates sat on 32mm clean stone then filled around with clean stone and just over top another sheet put over whole hole to stop dirt getting into clean stone that I back filled with after

how you find the zaxis ? The odd occasion we got a hitachi as a hire dropped off I am allways impressed. They seem to have a little bit more power/lift than the other 5 tonners.
