Homeless in Vancouver: Well, that about covers this Broadway tunnel soil test

Looks like I was wrong—again. Before 3 p.m. on Sunday (October 11), a Foundex drilling crew had completely wrapped up the subway tunnel-related soil testing they began in the 1400 block of West Broadway two days earlier.

On Saturday, I wrote how I thought that the crew might be on the scene through the Thanksgiving Monday but they have completely cleared out—equipment and all.

The only evidence to mark that the drilling ever happened is a steel plug bearing the equilateral “Triangleon” of an internationally-recognized monitoring well cover.

My camera puts the cover at the GPS coordinates: 49.26382000, -123.13810167, which is about 28 metres south of its actual location (so handy that GPS function—pfft!).
