When your new place up and running will you be ground sharing?
Some years ago was it Liverpool or Everton's reserves played at KR.
Is a similar deal being discussed do you know?

Which is Balfour Beatty ground engineering. http://www.bbge.com/ One of the vans says Pennine on it. This i understand from the Balfour website is short for Pennine Vibropiling which is a company that BB bought Its basically a giant Vibrator that makes the earth move, before getting down to some serious hardcore action.

St Helens Town amateur soccer club will be playing at our new ground just as they did at Knowsley Road. That helps us get Sport England money (assuming Sport England still exists by then of course). But we won't be ground sharing with anyone.

Is it a bad thing, there only being one rig?

No not really. On big jobs where the is alot of piling needed they use few rigs. They may only need the one or the others ain't arrived yet.

From what chair maker has said, its driven piles and not concrete poured piles.

Does that make the job quicker? (she says, impatiently wanting to see walls go up!)

The amount of rigs depend on the size of the job and what's needed. I've been doing a job for past 4 month where concrete piles have been getting poured since July on 3 rigs and it's still got few month left yet!

Driven piles can be much quicker than using concrete. The fact the build will be done by October and the rig have only just turned means they expect the piling to be pretty quick.

I prefer piling jobs that use concrete.

Women!! They just simply do not understand the finer points of the man's world, such as piling.
