Setting a 4ft culvert at the WW&FRy
| August 05, 2017 10:06PM |
The first half of a 44' long culvert was put in place today to fix the next washout in the right of way blocking main line expansion. There is only rail access to the site right now so everything has to come in by rail.
Stone being delivered to the site earlier this week.
First half of the culvert loaded up on the flatcar and being moved down to the job site.
The Kubota at the bottom of the washout.
Lowering the culvert into the hole.
The original culvert was found buried and full of debris in the bottom of the washout while excavating the bottom of the washout for the new culvert. You can see the old culvert pulled out of the way underneath the white rope.
Culvert set in the hole.We plan on setting the other half next weekend.
