I know this video made the rounds by email and on Geoengineer a while back, but I haven’t posted it here. It shows a novel way of installing piles in softer soil. Those guys have some nice rhythm! Happy Friday.

Rockfall Protection Videos from G.T.S.
More videos! French Company G.T.S. has posted some great videos on rockfall protection systems on their YouTube channel. I don’t speak French, so I can’t give you any more info on the company (although their website looks like it has plenty of info!). But the videos cover the preparation of, drilling for, and installation or rockfall protection fences and barriers as well as a couple of general rockfall ones. They just have video with background music, so no worries about a language barrier. You can watch the installation video below.

I like it. And if you run into a stiffer material, you just put on some speed metal music! 😀
