Needles to say as we built bridges the specs we adhered to were very tight.

For most of that job on that interstate hiway I ran the horse cock (vibrator) and if that was used wrong you could have serious problems. I did not mind a engineer staying close to me I did not like to have honeycomb.

Our work was good that was in 68-69 and those bridges are still in good shape, I drive over them or under them regularly!
