How big do the caisson/pilings appear to be (diameter)?
They are working in the same area, but have drilled a few piers. I think they are going pretty deep, so each one is taking a while. I would assume the diameter is the same as the drill bits you can see laying on the site. I can't tell for sure since they are drilling behind the piles that the drill is making. I'll be by at least once a week, so I will try to see for sure. So far I have caught them on lunch and I got by after they were done today.
