Re: And My Wife Wonders Why I Drink
we've been using ground penetrating radar and vac trucks on a lot of jobs. As for gpr, its usefulness is directly related to the amount of experience the operater has.

Re: And My Wife Wonders Why I Drink
Shoot, ain't nothin' to that! You should see what's at the base of a major bridge in downtown Ft. Laud.! Imagine all of that in a 16X16X6 hole + a water main and you're adding a 16" force main. Been there.

Re: And My Wife Wonders Why I Drink
