The concrete pumping lorry arrives and is setup
The first Premix concrete lorry arrives to start pouring
The pipes that will carry the concrete to the site are laid out ready to be connected together
Pouring the concrete
After the first pour
A view of the build from the sea also showing the slipway piles
Even though concrete is being poured, work continues on the slipway piles
A view of part of the concrete that forms the base of the boathouse
The sort of weather that slows work down!!!
Another shot of the swell caused by the SouthEasterly Gale
A shot of the swell from the catwalk of the existing boathouse
This shot shows why workers were ordered off the new boathouse for a short while this morning - for their safety!!!
Another shot showing the power of the swell
A big wave hits the rocks below the new station
Low tide and its still not too pleasant
Concrete ready to be poured into the slipway piles to strengthen them arrives via the M2
Pouring the conrete into one of the piles for the slipway
The concrete beds which will sit on top of the piles and form the base of the slipway arrive via barge
The first concrete bed is lifted off the barge
Almost there . . . .
The first concrete slipway bed is now in place on the piles
The latest concrete pumping lorry is bigger than the last (see top of this page) as it wasn't quite up to the job!!!
