4th Section of driveway being prepared

Today was the kerb section of the driveway that was prepared, including the industrial-grade galvanized pipes connecting the storm-water pit/chamber to the kerb guttering. Our hydraulic engineer specified these based on the brief to him that we will have heavy vehicles going up and down that driveway during the house build. Normally there would be PVC storm-water piping installed.
We've also been lucky with the weather, the driest spell they have had for a supposedly wet season.

This says a lot about the strength and planning of such a driveway given the slope.

Pete helped us out to move forward with sorting out the drainage and erosion issues, before we could continue
