WOW and awesome!!! Lots of manual labor to get it straightened up!! But then, look back on a lot of things in the early 1900s, there were a lot of truly amazing things accomplished without modern equipment..
The soils throughout much of the Red River Valley and the Winnipeg area are generally quite poor due to being the bottom of Lake Agassiz. You have to dig quite deep like 15-20 feet deep depending on where you are to get good firm soil. This is the reason why so many larger buildings and even houses are built with pilings beneath them.
At 2:20 he states that they should have loaded it uniformly to help keep the weight distributed evenly (avoiding eccentricity). I've seen many sources stating that during the original fill they were careful to load the bins uniformly and it still failed.
The failure was caused by the soil at ground level testing better than the soil in a very similar looking, but much lower capacity layer thirty feet down.
This is not part of Transcona's history because it is located in the Municipality of Springfield not Transcona. The North Transcona name is misleading because the North Transcona area did not include any part of Transcona, it was mostly Springfield and a part of North Kildonan. The Transcona Museum needs to get it facts straight before they talk about this non Transcona story.
The grain bins are not located in "North" Transcona but on Dugald Rd which is in South Transcona. I hear what you are saying about "North" Transcona as that portion is in Springfield but not the bins. You owe the girls an apology.....
@@larrythompson5617 This is the P&H grain elevator in North Transcona off of Springfield Rd. Not the malting plant that you are thinking of on Dugald Rd.
Where are photo's and films of proof. Such huge operation need certainly to be properly Documentation. Without proof it all might be Internet stories .
This is not an internet story it in fact happened. Transcona museum has pictures of the raising. But here www.cgs.ca/pdf/110916%20Skaftfeld%20photos%20Transcona%20Grain%20Elevator_MINIMIZED.pdf
Solid presentation, thank you. The passion of the presenters made this enjoyable as well as informative.

Fascinating!!! Amazing what they could do without all the equipment that we have nowadays
Fascinating story! Thanks for sharing!

This place was and still is a swampy area. I have personally worked in Transcona yard. I am leaning more to a failure in land preparation.
Wow, this is on par with building the great pyramids.
Do you know how they built the pyramids?
Mr Hamburger--- at the Millilumen towers in San Fransisco California- the leaning towers
The failure was caused by the soil at ground level testing better than the soil in a very similar looking, but much lower capacity layer thirty feet down.
No way that’s the equivalent of 3 million. 30 million maybe.
Interesting

Did you watch the video Willy? There's plenty of photos shown for "proof" lol Nice try at sounding smart but it didn't work out so well for ya bud.

Your focused to much on Trumps "Fake News" stories... Did a grain bin have to fall on your head to convince you it happened?
A rather pitiful observation! Best of luck!
