I don't know. I found it posted on the heavy equipment forum.

I took advantage of the rain earlier this week to get an indoor job done. The building was rented to a porta-pot company for a few years. This holding pit was the washout / sanitation area that pumped to the city sewer system. Not my idea, but the owner had some laborers chip out the containment curb and throw it into the pit.

I filled the pit with 13 yards of flowable fill and vibrated the heck out of it to make sure all of the voids from the curb debris and undercut were removed.

After letting the water bleed out of the fill overnight, we drilled and epoxy-doweled #5 rebar to stitch up the new pour.

I love old iron, so I had to stop and check this out on the way home.

One has to wonder how he got in there in the first place.

So, this week was just like your being on a Carnival Cruise Ship.

Ha! Luckily the manager of the building had used Tide to scrub the place repeatedly since it's for lease. I didn't know what the place was used for until after I filled the hole.
