The top halves of the greenheart piles are now bolted on. A hard job as the bolts must go right through the greenheart pile and emerge in the right place to match the hole in the splice plate on the opposite side, and there are 6 bolts on each plate that must all match. Some plates look a bit funny as the two bits of greenheart pile aren't the same size; they are supposed to be, but the cutting tolerance is quite large. Took down the new T plates, they didn't hold things up after all.
