^ Well, the fence only goes around 621, suggesting that excavation will be there only, at this time. However, I'm surprised they didn't allow cars to go ahead and continue parking at 601 for the time being. One can assume 601 must be too close behind to make that feasable.

One would have to assume.

They only have two piles at the 621CM site today, I imagine these are to test
the ground. They are marked by ten foot sections and are a total of 40ft. long.

Good to see a crane on site. I am surprised that a crane showed up at the towers first though.

Hey Mike, did you purposely wait til a train stopped before taking the pic??? Just curious.

ltsmotorsport · #88 Posted **Feb 1, 2006, 6:17 PM**

Yeah, catching the LRT in the shots is sweet.

innov8 · #89 Posted **Feb 1, 2006, 11:30 PM**

So are these test piles or actual piles?

innov8 · #**100** Posted **Feb 7, 2006, 8:53 PM**

They are tests... I think they will be doing this for a month or so. They started last week.
