I have been out the work site and decided to post some recent photos....
 Sinking a caissson  Slowly getting all 56 caissons in place  Jack Up Barge allowing access for crews to prepare bearings pads and install bearings.  1100 tonne capacity floating crane to lift the Roadways and PAR's into position.  One of the pre assembled units coming in ready to moved up to the plant.......its just one big jigsaw puzzle  A random shot....  Another unit ready for transport, to give it some scale, that's a 75 tonne crane beside it |

Silly question, but why isn't there a camp set up on land?
Great shots, BTW.
