And that my friend is why I never drop the legs anywhere near manholes or drains when I can avoid it.

Learnt that from a similar incident in Townsville about 4yrs ago

no drains near on the road. no pipes under the road. i have been dropping them in the same place for nearly two years.had sizable timbers under the legs. but had a lot of rain sat night. and the road wasnt really compacted when they built it. the only pipe on the road runs across under the back trailer.

At my last work we were buying these recycled plastic feet blocks... they are about the same dimensions as a railway sleeper but only a foot long per block... last for ages and the drivers sling a couple in the tool box... but your right... you wouldnt expect that to happen on a public road.

Thinkness of the hotmix has nothing to do with whats under it.
Civil guys do the earthworks, Bitumen crew do the hotmix.

There WILL be pipes under the road,
There should be an Agi-line / side drain running under the kerb,
but that only shifts moisture away, Whats in the photo under the spare wheel ?
Maybe a gulley pit ? Not unheard of for stuff to wash away from around the pipe work.
