I notice a deeper hole dug at the bottom left of the pic, I wonder what that is for. This is very cool to watch...
Yeah, really surprising how much sand there is. Just wow.
I wonder if that deeper hole is for mechanical, like a sump pump. They have something like that at the Cop Shop parking garage (KPL).
Re the hole, I was thinking that too. A sump pump would be required with all that sand. Or too much hydraulic pressure would build up under the foundation pad and cause structural issues. (to be clear, I am not an engineer, just someone who has read and watched building techniques. I don't want to get the engineers here wound up and tooting their horn... The horn was a joke linked to an engineer.. I dont want the train afectionados here upset either)
