I agree - looks like they’re setting up a concrete operation. I think that they’re setting this one up possibly for trucks, based on what looks like a platform being build just above the large tank towards the left of the image. It looks like where a loading mechanism might go.
It will be very interesting to watch how this job develops over the next few months. Looking back, despite all the serious issues that need to be attended to, they have done an enormous amount of work in the last 3 months with getting things somewhat under control.
Funny how productive even government can be when panic sets in.
I give more credit to the contractors.
DWR had plenty of sign of issues & did nothing about it. Reading through their documentation on the issues, PFM's, DSSMR's, they were going through the motions & not maintaining the spillway. DWR has sliced all of the piezometer tubings and hasn't placed a single new Piezometer in the dam - even when FERC has repeatedly been asking them for years to do so.
The failure finally caught up with them. It was just a matter of time in their operations and non-proactive work that PFM's & DSSMR's were designed for.
