Thats what happened with this sewer line, it was that sand and water table. I think we tried using the angle of repose to open up that deep trench, but it was so much material, loose, then the undisturbed would fracture, and you could predict when it would collapse. Our foreman at the time, a younger man than I, less experience, left the grade stick further back in a 6' deep trench I was digging, we were uncoiling copper tubing for a lateral to the 12" water main. He proved that timing theory, where the walls would fall in not long after you opened up the cut. I said do not go any further back, find another way to grab that stick from above, or we'll will dig it out. Next thing I knew, he ran down the trench, got the stick, but on the way back, close to where we were, a huge chunk broke off, threw him to the opposite side of the trench wall, pinned him up to his mouth, took the wind out of him, it took me almost 2 hours to hand dig him out, the sand would not let him go, nice easy saturday morning job, be done at noon, we were done them he went to ER to get checked I went home.
