sewage pipe system
The pipe and crane showed up in Lough Foyle a few days ago. The pipe was floated here in six sections by tugboats from Norway and will be 4km in length when connected and completed. The crane along with a floating platform also arrived to do the connection work. Twenty five tonne blocks will be used to connect the pipe. It will be assembled here in Moville over the next few months before being moved to Blackpool, Lancashire, where it will be used to upgrade the public sewage system there. When completed it will be floated out in one giant 4km piece.

Yes I think that Blackpool urgently can use an update of its sewage system.
ReplyDeleteImagine that, floated all the way from Norway.
ReplyDeleteWow! Wouldn't it be more practical to assemble on site?!

ReplyDeleteWhat a mammoth logistic project! Thanks for sharing this very interesting info!
ReplyDeleteHow do they do that? Your photo gives us a good sense of the massive scope of such a project. Even so, it must be a crappy job! :)
ReplyDeleteThe construction industry today can do incredible things, Bill!
ReplyDeleteI also posed the question: why don't they assemble it on site? Still it's a massive undertaking.
ReplyDeleteAlways interesting to hear how things are put together. I guess those pipes would have some interesting stories to tell!
ReplyDeleteGoodness me! The things they can construct out at sea.. unimaginable years ago!
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of work.
ReplyDeleteHa Bill, dat is een reuze klus, wat kan er veel he tegenwoordig.
ReplyDeleteGroet Kees.
Good grief! I hope it never leaks.
ReplyDeleteI am impressed.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and peaceful view.
ReplyDeleteInteresting process. That is a lovely shot of the water!
ReplyDeleteTo me, this is quite a view. Not something I get to see everyday.
ReplyDeleteCurious indeed. I would like to know more about the 'floating' process. Ultimately, it will be at depth?
ReplyDeleteVery interesting. It looks like a big job.
ReplyDeleteA big job requiring skill; I hope that the works get paid well!
