25th September 2009

I'm pleased that Tam and Cyril have got into a rhythm. The sequence is to drive 2 or 3 piles to a set, then as the tide rises, bolt on some top sections. As the set is achieved before the bottom section disappears into the mud, the tops just need bolting on. John Davis has relaxed his requirement for bolts so now each section has 2 bolts, placed at 90 degrees, the remainder of the fixings are coach screws. So I beetle off to SIG fixings to order coach crews. As the weekend arrives progress is becoming obvious with 6 piles now complete.
