Pit and gravel operations in Limington
Sand and gravel pits are the closest thing Limington has to heavy industry and they run from thaw to freeze-up. A Limington pit keeps a unit near the scale house or the shop rather than down in the working face. Because the Limington pit floor moves every week, a fixed set at the entrance is the sensible answer. Limington pit dust coats everything by midmorning, so a handwashing station goes out with the unit. Limington operators run monthly terms and take weekly service on the same route day. Winter service at a Limington pit continues as long as the haul road is plowed.
River and road crews along the Limington Saco
The Saco drops through the Limington rapids and the road crews work the bank and the culverts in the dry months. A Limington river set goes at a gravel pull-off well above the high water line. Because the Limington river comes up hard in April, nothing is left on the low bank. Limington paving and shoulder work moves the unit along the corridor every few days. Limington crews need a pull-off wide enough for the service truck to stop clear of traffic. Posted weight limits on the Limington back roads hold deliveries until the ground firms.
Scattered house lots around Limington
Houses in Limington go up one at a time on cleared lots well back from the town roads. A Limington builder keeps a single standard unit for the whole job rather than swapping sizes. Limington drives are long and sandy, so the set goes near the road end where a truck can turn. Sand over ledge on the Limington ridges needs a pad to hold the unit level. Limington septic and well crews take a handwashing station along with the standard unit.
