Day 57 - Rock Blanket


The crew measures the taper point on the rock. Which is 30 feet from the center of the bridge.

The bridge numbers were spray painted onto the bridge on the SW and NE corners.

The operator works on digging the toe and cutting the bank to the correct slope.

After the toe is dug, the crew cuts the Geo fabric material and takes it to the slope.

Here the crew installs it so that the rock will be placed the material and not directly onto the dirt.

After the Geo fabric is installed rock is hauled in and and placed on top of the blanket.
