Can You See The Difference?

In between the showers we did manage to make some progress with the drainage.  The new trenches were excavated, prepared and the drains laid, all followed up with the stone drainage beds.
Guy took the after pictures below which show the current status. If you compare them with the before pictures you might ask what is the difference.  You need to look closely to see the lines of drains marked by fresh stone.

We start with a general view with the ballast bed now covering the installed drains.
Looking north we see the ballast pile has been consumed. Materials on the left await to be moved into position.
Fresh ballast awaits it's turn for the finishing operations
The membrane poking out of the ground gives a clue as to what has been going on.
The final view is looking south with the cross drain and soakaway completed
Hopefully the next month should see the crossing progress.

Thanks to Guy for the pictures.

Until next time.
