Ladies in construction? ……. Absolutely!!!

So, yesterday myself and Hannah, who has recently joined the Force One Team ventured out of the office environment to visit some of the suction excavator operatives on, what we thought was a pretty impressive first site visit for Hannah!.

A short drive from the office to a historic church in Cambridge, we turn up on site dressed in super hi-viz ppe, hard hats, steel toe capped boots and glasses ……

So, the site was muddy, very different to our usual environment but what we saw was pretty amazing!

Lewis, the main operative on site had excavated a small area by the time we arrived, with over 30 meters of extension pipes running from the excavation point back to his machine. He had connected a reducer to the 250mm diameter flexi hoses and used 150mm flexi hose to feed into excavation and this can be seen in the pit.

Working alongside archaeologists, articles of interests were exposed, but were removed before we arrived, however we did get the opportunity to view many items removed from the site that were stored in the church and had already been recorded in archaeological records.

This, we hope is the first of many visits to come, and who knows, we might even turn up with one of the guys to be the second (wo)man.
