So yesterday while climbing up the Maku tower I spotted them start to dewater some of the area that runs along the fence line along Turkey Lake. Typically means constructions usually starts not too much longer
I don’t understand dewatering. One would think that the minute they stop dewatering, the water would seep back in.
I would too, never built in Florida other than dig out some stumps but when I dig a post hole I get down about 2 feet and it starts filling with water. I can't imaging them moving enough to stop that but I guess it works.
Totally works. They are essentially just lowering the water table. Not sure how they keep from water seeping back in after dewatering. I can find out once im back at work Monday if you really want to know
looks like Universal is bringing in the big guns to help boost attendance

The image in your post doesn’t show.

I do! My assumption is that is only temporary while they do their thing. Perhaps after all is said and done, buildings and roadways go back to floating on water, as is the case in much of Florida.
Bact to VB, Bio is really into long telephoto shots lately, forcing layer upon layer onto the same plane.

They did try to do something with Fallon, having him be recorded with the tight pants bit at areas like Transformers, Simpsons, and even Potter.
That said, to put this into perspective. Jordan actually contributed to the Destiny 2 commercial, which got RAVE responses for it's humor and tone. If he's doing a commercial on that level for Universal on Super Bowl to hype up Universal Orlando Resort (or Fast and Furious), we will have a fantastic commercial.
EDIT: Case in Point.
Got some info for you @Teebin
From what I found out is they will run the dewatering pumps the entire time while working below ground, water will seep back in pretty much as soon as they stop pumping so if they laid pipe one day and came back then next, the pipe would be under water without the pumps on.
For smaller jobs they will run well points down to vacuum up the water, once the water table is below where they need to be they can get to work and lay the pipe (or whatever else they are doing) then backfill/compact/density test, once they clear then they will stop the pumps finish back filling and compacting as needed and then done.
For larger jobs they will run sock pipe (perforated pipe with cloth over it to prevent debris from entering the line) below ground throughout the job site and connect those to the pumps and run the entire time. Those pipes generally stay in the ground and abandon.

Say what you will about Tapu Tapu, but that mountain is a beautiful addition to the Universal skyline
May have been required for emergency access
Or you could have your limo drop you off????
