    Casing the first 80’ and slurry the rest and it might work— had 3500+ 72” 160’ deep down in Houston we did that way and got away with it— for the most part— had a batch plant onsite so quantity wasn’t an issue

    Anyone know how this crossing is managed now. I was back next in line with my Ford Falcon Station Wagon and Nimrod fold out tent camper, accompanied by wife and 3 daughters,1970. I was mulling how he leveled the barge to the dock and they brought up: "How deep is the water there, Daddy."
    US62 crossing the North Fork River in Arkansas, headed for Branson before it became a "destination". I think their mother must have piqued that curiosity...
    Have a pic detailing the query, but is is too big to post. Will try my hand at cropping i and add.

    Nope, replied with smooth sound logic... "What difference does it make, it is deep enough to float the ferry we are going to cross on."

    That's a 1000 regular trucks. Depending on how it's done, they could set up a batch plant near the pour and just use haul trucks.
