Containers arriving that will become offices on the tower crane rig	Almost all the shuttering is in place	Another view of the shuttering from the steps. The men in the 'doughnuts' are making sure the tops of the piles are level
A picture showing the M2 with scoops of concrete on it. The concrete is used to secure some of the piles closer to the rocks	One of the scoops is lifted off the M2 ready to be poured into a pile	The scoop about to pour the concrete down a pile
This pic is of a truss that will take the weight of the concrete to form the lower floor of the boathouse. That's a lot of weight!!!	Another pic of the truss. It only weighs about 7 tons itself but must support a weight more than 10 times that!!	A pic showing the reinforcing bars starting to be put in place
There's a bit more reinforcing in place now. Its like a jungle on there!!!	A closeup shot showing the workers joining the reinforcing bars together	A good pic showing just how thick the reinforcing is
A pic showing one of the struts on the M2 transporter	Another shot showing the strut on the M2	Lifting the strut off the M2
Putting the strut into place	One of the strut's fixings going into the top of the pile	A pic showing the strut in place. The struts will hold the weight of the concrete until it is set!!
A pic showing the struts and reinforcing from the basket above where the slipway will be	A pic showing the struts from the side	The long bar is part of the support for the strut
