The Crawler

The Big Crawler machine finally arrived to mark the commencement of Shoring and Excavation works. 60% of the site has been approved for earth moving operation by the local authority.

It was also the day when we began receiving visits from local authority officers from various departments. The purpose of this visits it seemed was to get us familiarised with the many forms and document to be filled prior to performing any type of works on site. The proactive nature of these officers differs greatly to those we experience back home. Back then, the only time we will see those so called local authority was when its CFO time.
Back to the Crawler, it was assembled on site within a day and ready for oepration the next day. It will start piling in shoring H-beams approximately 1 meter apart along the perimeter of the plot.
