Resistance is futile
On the project that I am working on we have to divert a big river.
The above pic's are of the diversion channel. The DC is 8 km (5.3 miles) long, 50 m wide and 3 meters deep.
That makes this anthill more than 30 ft tall.
This is also typical of a construction crew chasing production and leaving the tough bits for later.
Comments:
.
guess they are waiting on a truck load of government regulated ant-eaters to clear that area.
.
I've heard those things can be hard as concrete. What'll you do? Dynomite it, leave it for the new river to desolve it, bulldoze it again?

KK: Hi K-nine. Yes the are hard but with todays equipment like a D9 or a 80 ton excavator they stand no chance. The one pictured was gone the next day.
Removing them with a pick and spade is another thing.
