Yesterday shortly after 4:00 PM our house shook from a nearby explosion. When I looked out a back window I saw a cloud of yellowish smoke rising in the southeast. Close to where I live contractors are digging trenches to bury plastic pipes below the frost line for the Locale subdivision (formerly called Syringa Valley). Work is proceeding east of Cole Road and south of Latigo Drive.
As is shown above, south of Lake Hazel Road there are Ingersoll Rand and Atlas Copco percussion drills (presumably owned by Superior Blasting) working together making holes in the ground prior to blasting for removing those stubborn rocks.
Further east there also is a large stockpile of plastic pipe.
An excavator and an enormous Trencor trencher also are working north of Lake Hazel Road. (I blogged about the trencher on March 30, 2016 in a post titled Explaining something by comparison with the familiar). But some of the ground is apparently rockier than the excavators or trencher can handle.
