October 3, 2006: SCDOT Aerial Views of Unbuilding
Every 2 months, SCDOT acquires an aerial view of the unbuilding and provides
us with a unique view from above. Sparky, Brian and Mickey provide us with
ground level and water level photos. But the contribution from SCDOT
(Julie and Creta and Larry Workman who flys and photographs )
provides a different perspective. Thanks!
Here is Cousin Arthur - mostly alone now. What a change over the past 10
months! Here is the view from December 1 2005
and October 3, 2006
Mission control is at the intersection of Huger St and East Bay and across
the street you can see what is left of the PBC control center.
Here is the J. Cashman, the 995, doing cleanup. Note the two barges
to the left - and the 995 snout fishing on the bottom right. Is that
Pat and his tug keeping everything aligned?
A good look at the 995 dropping a load into the adjacent barge.
Another view of the 995 fishing and someone doing the fetching and
toting of debris from one barge to the other barge
Here are the remaining Grace foot prints on the Mt. Pleasant side along
with progress on the observation and fishing pier
A closer look at progress on building the observation pier
Back on the Charleston side - a view of the work on the remaining
Pearman (foreground) and Grace (background) trusses.
From above the Sea Breeze Marina - and Mickey's new office
Here Michael is fishing for debris and Stan setting up for driving
some piles at the far end of the observation pier.
Work around the Grace substructure
A better view
A view of the worksite on the north side of the Ravenel Bridge - with
work on the Grace substructure in the foreground and in the background,
the 995 cleanup. A very interesting shadow of the stay cables on the water
surface
