The reason they wanted to raise the scale is that the Scale was Originally Planned to be 1' Above grade( for drainage ) , at steel mills they Grind up Slag and start pouring it on the ground , Grade it , let 200,000 lbs truck run over it add some more slag , grade it , etc,,, until they end up with a Basically Stable road , but it still Needs grading and they Are ALL ways adding more slag and rock ,
This and a few other scales in the area have ended up a few inches to a foot Below grade , so every thing Drains TO the scale and it packs Up in Mud that May as well be cement ( Slag , Lime stone dust , and Gumbo Mud ) .
This is the Last scale I Have to deal with in this Area that has this Problem ,
The customer wanted it done Quick and Cheap, Now If the welders would Just Get their Pantys OUT of a WAD , we could Proceed .
