As construction of the M74
Completion is now well underway
and the snow is finally melting, an
unexpected item has emerged from
the depths of an excavation. After
enduring over two months of
complete submersion in 2ft of
frozen mud and icy water, a lone
HAVmeter has been rescued.
Davie Teasdale - site foreman at Interlink M74 Project - says he simply recharged the meter on the Basestation and found that despite being completely submerged for months, it was still fully functioning.
"I couldn't believe the HAVmeter could survive those conditions.
When we saw it slip into a flooded cavity, we thought we'd never see it again. Then when we found it two months later, we took it out, wiped it down, and carried on using it!"
