Address Unexpected Obstacles (e.g., Buried Pipes)

What happens here

During excavation, you may encounter unexpected obstacles like buried pipes or old posts. Carefully dig around the object to fully expose it. Assess if it is a live utility line (requiring professional attention) or an abandoned structure. For large, non-essential obstacles like the concrete-filled post shown, use heavy machinery, such as an excavator with a grapple attachment, to carefully extract it from the ground. This requires precision to avoid damaging surrounding structures or utilities.

Goal: Safely remove or mitigate unexpected underground structures.
