Culvert repair

[aspenarb]

A bit of track reinstatement work the lads were on today . Timber wagons have hammer a culvert/bridge at the bottom of the big dipper on a forest track , it looks innocent enough but its really steep and very narrow ( I crap myself every time I go down there in the artic . We bolstered up the banks with concrete filled sand bags which increased the width by a couple of feet, Mick Dundee our ozzy fabricator welder knocked an 8mtrx4mtr frame to retain the new concrete raft. Holes in frame are ready for the side/hand rails.

 

Ready for the reinforcing mesh and concrete

Serious stuff, were you keeping an eye on progress throughout?

Tell Mick Dundee he's a heathen......... Using a shovel to 'pry' the frame into place, I ask ya!

Nice to do something different every so often
