Top Level - Shotcrete Complete

Well,

today was the day to cover roughly 20 x 4m horizontal drains, our 140 x 4.2m or so DCP bolts and our 3tonne of SL81 (approx.).

The spray was completed successfully and our nossle man Rod gave it a consistent uniform finish, no lumps or bumps.

James cut the tops gun barrel to the green line. Overall a fantastic gun finish result, the client is very happy with program and product.

Now we start on the pool! Talk soon...

9/9/2010 - S.Nowra - Upper Level Drilling Nears Completion

Hi All,

Drilling has almost finished on the top level..
As a great man once said "That rock, is harder than a bulls forehead!!!". Our Drilling Manager has been trialing new drilling configurations with great success. Rotary or percussion, hydraulics or air. We have found with this rock rotary is slower but easier on the gear.
Hope to commence steel fixing later this week.

Talk soon ....
