There’s the public service in Japan – taking a gaping five lane-wide sinkhole in a metropolitan area and fixing it in less than a week.
Above is a timelapse video of the entire engineering feat, capturing the around-the-clock work undertaken.
Everything. As It Happens.
Who’s going to be first with the Luas-related witticism?
I dunno but it’s obvious that Godzilla’s back in town, folks!
Hmmmmm…I dunno….a sink hole being a natural phenomenon I would prefer to have the road moved than try and mess with da shifting earth.
That’s impressive! And quite soothing to watch!
somewhere an irish TD is having road-fix-gasm
They’re too busy filling in expenses forms.

Three lols.
Now I have Healy-Rae in my head.
Interesting.
The Luas (and most other Irish projects) do not work at night on the basis that it is overall cheaper not to do so.
They also don’t work at night as it would be too loud and therefore disrupt people’s sleep. Projects have planning conditions that limit night time noise so that they basically can’t work at night. Which, except in exceptional circumstances for very short periods of time, I think is fair enough.
