Kahuku CACTF job

Here is a picture of part of the jobsite where we will be building the Combined Arms Collective Training Facility. As you can see, it is pretty thick. Lots of dense trees and undergrowth. It's on the north shore of the island. You can see the ocean in one of the pictures below.
Batch plant for mixing concrete on site. We are so far away from concrete mixing yards that we had to set up a batch plant on site. We have two concrete trucks on site. This plant adds the right quantities of aggregate, cement and water.

Here is a look at our storage/lay-down yard up there. We cleared this area and put down a good layer of rock. One thing about this area is it rains a ton. We need a good clear area that is rocked for storage of materials and equipment.


Here you get a pretty good look of the surrounding area. This is actually a helicopter landing site that the military maintains. This is an active training area, so if anyone is injured they are taken to this clearing where they can be air-lifted to a hospital. As you can see, it is the only clear area around.
