brilliant bit of filming.
Must have cost a fortune. Love the Tyrolean to get that pump in.
The problem I have with hydro-mining is the mess it creates. I can see they've gone to extraordinary lengths to clear up and deal with the sludge but one cant help but feel that its still going to create a hell of a mess that may not be necessary to pass the blockage.
Did the project result in a good find ???

Hydraulic mining has been used to great effect by PDMHS in Derbyshire. First in the recovery of the Wills Founder water pressure engine at Winster during 1976/7 and later in the upstream extensions of Old Millclose Sough. The waste material was backfilled into other mine workings.

Indeed. I guess mines are more suited to something like that.
There was a dig in peak cavern that used backed up water to blast out mud fill, but the Kibosh was put on it after it was decided that the resulting slurry was having a detrimental affect downstream in other sections of the cave.
