Box on the ground was flooded during this summer's irrigation that had water about 10cm above the soil surface. Half of the screw terminal was underwater, but luckily the eosFD twist connections were dry. Surprisingly, the eosFD chambers seemed fine and were recording data the whole time.

We moved a 2x12 plank from the edge of the platform to the middle so that we had more area to secure the scaffolding foot. The feet were drilled into the platforms and the scaffolding was tied down with a chain and turnbuckle attached to an eyebolt screwed into the platform (not pictured). The holes in the platform were later covered by chain link fencing.
