The barge has been moved back up river so that more braces can be installed. The hardwood that we have been using for the majority of the braces was bought from the pile suppliers as it had been intended as infill for railway level crossings but not required. We bought the timber cheap, and it is really strong but does have its disadvantages; its is difficult to drill and is so heavy that it requires the crane to hold it in place.
