The hole will contain the footings and "basement" for the elevator core. The smaller holes within the large one are drainage areas for sump pumps. They are in fact at the water table level. Congratulations. Contact me to claim your prize! Eureka! The hole will contain the footings and “basement” for the elevator core.
