Looking around as the end nears
Lots of small projects going on with the unbuilding. Here is the base
of the foundation structure that will stabilize the Grace truss section
while they unbuild it.
And here is a view of the stabilizer already attached to the truss
On the Mt. Pleasant side, work continues on building the observation pier.
But gone is the roadway to the Grace.
Looking toward the new condo complex - in March when I left, there was
nothing here except placing the pilings
Now look at Grace's feet sticking out of the water
A closer look - Cleanup continues around the shipping channel and a grapple
in the ready position.
Hmmm - here is Michael's 1250 with a grapple connected. The idea was to
pull up the each of Grace's feet. But the 80 ton load was a bit of
a surprise. So its innovation time with Michael (Testa), Ken (Cashman)
and Mickey (Advanced Blasting Services). Stay tuned.
And progress on the observation pier
