Pad Construction - Day 21

When I arrived at the entrance to the well pad they were loading the large excavator on a trailer for transport to another site.



A long load to haul.



At the well pad site it was quiet and the dozers were lined up near the stream crossing.


The rain for the past couple of days had created some mud in the southeast corner of the construction site. The new silt sock, installed yesterday, is seen at the right.
