Ironworker Acrobats
The Grace worksite
and from the Mt. Pleasant side - with Mickey's guys on the left (Pearman)
and our ironworker acrobats on the right (Grace)
Cutting a segment
Cutting the beams that hold the vertical segment in place
more acrobatics
an overview - Manny's crane in place stabilizing the vertical section
and our acrobats doing their thing (burning and performing)
Burning through the left side plate
another view
cutting a top member
another view of the overall relationship of the support cable, the crane
boom and the acrobats
burning on the right side.
Now watch Manny lift and
place the section on the barge
Midway down
and on the barge
Setting up for the next section
Tieing the support cables into place
and another burn, lift and place repetition
