Last week our client started building the foundation for his new house. At the same time, we started production in our factory, 2000 kilometers away.

These poles are only 8 meters long, but less than 500 meters away we have seen 24-meter poles. Wow…

A special machine hammers the poles into the ground, right until the first solid sand layer.
