Ground breaking

Over night a rather large machine arrived. This machine is drilling holes 16 metres deep for piles to be put in. In total there are 15 piles to be done.
The piling team have come down from Wigan. I was kindly showed the site today by the site manager and showed the process involved in putting these piles in.

This is the 2nd hole put in.
Basically that's a 16 metre drill bit and that's how far the piles go down to support the new building.
