They put that into holes so the soil won't collapse around the workers. SIGforum: For all your needs! Imagine our influence if every gun owner in America was an NRA member! Click the box>>>  | |||

I think they put them in trenches to keep them from collapsing on the workers when they're down there doing trench stuff.

I think it's a box that goes in a trench to shore up the sides. (I totally did not look at every previous post to mine.)

I dunno, but I think it has to do with trenches and making sure the walls don't collapse. ETA: Damn. Orguss beat me to it. -Rob I predict that there will be many suggestions and statements about the law made here, and some of them will be spectacularly wrong. - jhe888 A=A | |||

That is certainly not a caisson going rolling along. (Caissons are watertight) _______________________________ The artist formerly known as AllenInWV | |||
