$th picture down   .......  no sooner have they laid the concrete rafr, then they dig it up again.    :scratchhead:  :scratchhead: :scratchhead:   [splinter time!!]

The 2th pic down is the subway under the A20, which is ankle deep after heavy rain.

Am standing on the path to Shakey.

The 4th pic, they have added a concrete working surface around 2 rows of exposed pile heads.

 

Unless,of course, your humour is the removal of the fore n' aft raft shuttering.

 

They do need to dry it,by letting the airflow,underneath.  :onthequiet:

I think that was the one that was isolated near the tunnel portals whilst the work on the first section of deck was being carried out; it probably got lonely, and wanted to join its friends..

Ok, photos from the Camera.

 

Raft 1.

 

This looks as though, it is being readied,for it's walling.

 

The Black & Decker mobile machine,is for any lifting,around the raft.

Just and idle thought, and no I'm not licensed the think, I wonder if the next job for those rigs might be in the Eden Valley on the S&C.  Reading the latest guff on the Friends of the Settle and Carlisle facebook page they are planning a very similar type of viaduct to get round the unstable part.  The only problem would be the lack of such an excellent correspondent to keep us updated.  It's rather a remote site.

Today hoping to get up there around 1000, once the rains have cleared through.

Yesterday,it looked as though the water feature walls were near to a concrete pour, am intrigued as to how the roof will be poured.

 

Also, the recent small pour of the working surface area for raft 2, adjacent to Raft 1 was being scrupously cleaned up.

I would like to catch the joint of the two rafts.

 

Earlier,while trying to track down a "Night Ferry" headboard, for DJMs models of the Class 71/74,

I came across this image, which is the wooden trestle,which now lies below the on going project.
