The Doll Witness

When choosing the site for the construction of any building, engineering and geological studies of soil are carried out, and the capacity of the soil is of great importance. First, the foundation of the building is generally not erected on moist soils, and secondly, if a basement room is also provided, it is performed in the root soils, because the moist soils contain impurities, building and household garbage, their carrying capacity is low, and they should be removed. My colleague geologist, conducting surveys in the city, at one of the sites found that the capacity of the soil reaches 4.0m, which he reflected in the report. The buyer of the construction was not pleased with such a verdict, and he stated that the geologist is wrong, and he does not intend to spend money on the export of non-existent saturated soil. A commission was created consisting of a customer, a designer-architect and a geologist, the culprit of the dispute. An excavator was delivered to the scene and began digging the tranche on the site being examined. At each meter of the depth of the excavated tranche, the customer tried to prove that it was already the root soil. The geologist insisted that no, there are all signs that the soil is saturated. The excavator continued to dig. by
At a depth of 4 meters, the dispute was resolved in favour of the geologist - a pebble doll, made at least 40-50 years ago, was extracted to the surface.
The client was ashamed, the geologist celebrated.
