Day 2 at Dalfaber has not been without its challenges.....
The good news is that the Contractor does not need to dig a new drain across the road, because the uphill gully on the North side is already connected to a sewer- the bad news is that this Surface Water Sewer on the North side of the crossing is not recorded on Scottish Water Records and it was not picked up at survey stage.
Also, the sewer is conflicting with the proposed bases positions for the New Road Traffic Light (RTL) and the Barrier Machine base.
There is also a water main running parallel which was also not picked up at survey and is also not on Scottish Water Records....
Using the Suction Excavator the 11kV cable which goes under the track on the North Side has been exposed and gently repositioned to be clear of the base for the RTL.
Suction Excavator moving to the South Side tomorrow.
All excavations protected by Heras Fencing so no risk of Joe public falling down a hole.....
Site looks like a WW1 battlefield....
Trackwork and LX deck removal starts tomorrow nightwith complete Road Closure 20.00h till 07.00h.
