    Does anyone know what they're doing around Bective and Robinstown? There are loads of numbers painted on the side of the road and miles of red and black cables. There's also a few signs with "Surveying" written on them.

    I'm guessing that your post is in relation to seismic surveying that is going on in Meath.

    Did the surveying come near your house?

    I think the same company is now surveying in my area (Longwood) - I would be interested in knowing if the road vibrations that they induce, cause any damage. Do you have any information on what is involved in this operation?

    Any info?

    Thanks in advance,

    A.

    Saw them on the road from Kinnegad to Clonard recently too. I was fascinated by the amount of cable involved. At a very rough measure I reckon it was at least five miles of continuous cabling. :eek:

    Who needs five miles of cable and how much does that cost? :confused:

    Have they never heard of wireless connectivity? :D
