Hello dear friends!
Ten years ago, I worked in India, built a tunnel there, and quite unexpectedly, I and a couple of my comrades were sent on a business trip to Sochi. Namely, in the working camp, which was located in remote mountains near Krasnaya Polyana, where the 2014 Olympics was to be held (the 2014 Olympics was successfully completed). Our goal was to assemble a huge tunnel formwork, which was leased by another company “B” from our company “A”.
This is how the tunnel formwork assembly looks like.
Since the road leading to Krasnaya Polyana did not have the opportunity to miss a large number of cars, Russia made a commitment to the Olympic Committee to build a new road and railway with many tunnels. In general, the entire infrastructure was built from scratch.
Enlarge the photo to get a closer look at the old mountain road leading to Krasnaya Polyana.
Friends, as you noticed, along the road there is a very high cliff above the mountain river Mzymta (Stormy river). Dangerous road made at the beginning of the last century. A new tunnel was made in this rock.
The mountain in which the tunnel was made has very hard rock, not a single technique could make a hole in this strong rock. To solve this problem, dynamite was used. I did not see dynamite, but I heard strong explosions that well destroyed strong rocky stones. After a successful explosion, all the rocky soil from the new tunnel was transported by large machines (Muaz) to a special dump. Here, the fun begins.
The car "Muaz" takes out rocky soil
But the most interesting, in my free time from work, I liked to walk in the mountains, breathe fresh air and admire the wonderful nature. Here is a rough photo of my walk.
Taking a walk on one of these days, I ended up on a dump where cars transport rocky soil. I decided to come closer and look at the stones, which had an interesting white color with a blue-red tint.
And hell yes! “Yes” - was my first impression when I saw this beautiful stone with precious crystals. I took it and put it in my backpack, after which I went home to the construction town to wash this handsome man.
After me, many more people tried their luck in search of such a find in this stone dump, but their efforts were unsuccessful. You can say an exclusive pebble, which took pride of place in my small collection of stones. Thank you.
All health and profit.
