I REFUSE the CUSTOMERS request. Bomb shelter: FINAL chapter

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The project begins with an assessment of the customer's abandoned underground 'bomb shelter' project. The customer decided to give up on building the shelter due to safety concerns related to working with sandy soil that continuously collapsed into the excavation, especially in freezing temperatures. The decision is made to fully remove the installed corrugated metal pipe and backfill the trench, rather than simply burying the unfinished structure.

Goal: Understand the project's status and decide on a safe removal strategy for the culvert.

Tools and materials

Daewoo Excavator Daewoo — Observation of the site conditions and planning the culvert removal
Kubota SVL 75-2 Skid Loader Kubota — Initial assessment of the site and subsequent backfilling
