David Todd Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Today's visit,starting about midday. Photos from the iPad only. A Lorry,has delivered a load of bar, to create No 1 Raft. The new large crane,is swing it,to the forming section. The Yellow rig, is drilling cylinder s in for a pile at the Seawall Raft 2. The concrete lorry is supplying,to the pump,then to the pipe along the Seawall, for the second blind pour on surface for Raft 1. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium jamie92208 Posted June 6, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 6, 2016 The crane choice sort of makes sense to me now having seen the last picture in post 2112. There a load of rebar is being slung the full length of the raft. The crane's swl is obviously much reduced at what is probably it's maximum working radius but they still need to sling loads of a ton or more that distance. The larger jib will obviously do that. That's only an uneducated guess but I am happy to be corrected. This means that they can work the full length of the raft without the crane having to go onto the blind pour bit which would probably crack under the weight.

runs as required Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 My! They are really piling the pressure on; I suppose it is 6 months to go now as they start pouring the deck from the tunnel end. Point of info: how did the big crane get delivered to the site? By sea, or in road/rail passable sized components to be assembled on site (by another crane). Will it be delivering reinforcing steel etc. direct down from the westbound Mway lane? And might redimix get piped down in similar fashion? Some great pics dt! dh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcredfer Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 I did notice what looks like a black line on the pole - just visible below the black glove, of the "Stick Man". I guessed that might be a 1 Mtr mark?? G,day folks I'll take a crack at 1.25m or so - if we assume each part of the telescoping stick is 1 metre and the large black marks are 10cm, which looks about right comparing to the stick support operative holding it.

Some great pics dt! dh It will have come by road, in several portions. I think the Highways Agency might have something to say about using the Folkestone-bound carriageway as unloading point; they already have virtually continuous jams on the way into Dover. Concrete will be delivered by truck mixers to a concrete pump; the batching plant is only about half-a-mile away, about where the railway curves round to Dover Priory. Taking it up to the A20 would involve a longer journey, as the empty wagon would have to go to the roundabout at the eastern end of Capel, then come back through the traffic jams.
