I'm not very happy with the contrast, couldn't make those clouds stand out better but i like the perspective and the presence of this guy who seems to be in awe, like I was. It's a very nice piece of civil engineering... :)

The man putting the boot in is Harry Baffy (spelling?), foreman of the derrick crane barge "Queen Mary". A heroic personality.
Most of the men came from the East End, such as the Isle of Dogs. Their rap was hilarious, so inventive and surprising. When the council was sending round pamphlets about Thames flooding I asked Freddy Goff if they’d given him one. He said “Gowd no. They only send the undertaker round our way!” That kind of thing, plus the banter of the labourers from southern Ireland, made my working day funnier than “Till Death us do Part” or “Steptoe” on TV. I used to love eating in tiny cafes in Southwark, chocolate steam pudding and custard (compensation for giving up smoking) to dreadful music (Sandy Shaw, Tom Jones, Rod Steward).
The man in the woolen hat was a steel fixer called Ken. He's standing on the pile cap with the piling foreman called, I think, Mr Woodger.

Pavements and equipment Airmen from the 633rd Civil Engineer Squadron repair sections of the runway Aug. 27, 2014, at Langley Air Force Base, Va. According to 633rd CES leadership the improvements will provide a safe environment to sustain current flying operations, and secure future mission capability.

A mini-series following my 44mm-high Homies character Pelon, where he poses for photo ops at potholes on the streets of Mount Tabor Park.
Leadership fixes potholes, not patching.
Chronic neglect of Portland’s streets is manifesting in the burgeoning number and size of dangerously large potholes across the city. Here, pothole road damage is seen in Mount Tabor Park, Portland, Oregon.
Engineering: From a technical perspective, a great deal of information can be gleaned from a deep pothole, as it provides a cross-section-view of the pavement structural section…or lack thereof, as in this case. Here, the asphalt wearing surface is heavily pitted, highly oxidized and brittle, confirming many years of neglect. The asphalt layer is minimal; confirming this road never received the maintenance originally planned. The river-rounded pebbles of the base course layer tell the story of a roadway constructed originally from deficient materials. Roadway base course should be well-graded, faceted aggregate so as to provide optimum particle interlock – a crushed and sieved mix from those same pebbles would suffice. Pelon is standing on concrete – evidence of a previous attempt to effect a repair – but that repair effort was doomed to fair because it was placed too thin, and was never going to be waterproof. Poor drainage has contributed to the failure of this road. The conclusion is unequivocal; this road has failed and no amount of patching will restore a level of service – or service life – that should be reasonably expected of it.

The Ferro-Concrete Review was a monthly journal produced to publicise the Mouchel-Hennebique method of reinforced concrete construction 'in engineering and architetcural practice'. Edited by W Noble Twelvetrees it is a highly informative periodical full of details and illustrations of numerous contemporary construction projects. The Mouchel-Hennebique method was the result of the engineer L G Mouchel being the British agent for the Hennebique French/Belgian method of early concrete reinforcement patented by François Hennebique (1842-1921).
The reconstruction of road bridges is often commented on in the Journal, at a time when increasing demands on highway infrastructure in post-WW1 years met with the relatively 'new' technology of reinforced concrete. Whereas many of the bridge illustrated have long been swept away in later reocnstructions it is remarkable how many still stand, in regular use, a centrury after construction.
The January 1924 issued looks at a number of bridges in Scotland including this, the widening of the viaduct at Colinton that carries the B701 over the valley of the Water of Leith and what was the trackbed of the Caledonian Railway's Balerno Branch. As described the work consisted of the construction of ferro-concrete parapets on the existing masonry arched bridge. The road saw much use in the years before the Edinburgh City By-pass was opened, effectively acting as part of the ring road, and is still in use although I suspect the concrete elements have been more recently renewed.
Comments always appreciated, as long as you keep it clean - I love to hear your feedback! xx
I went for a visit to Derby for their comedy festival and to spend the weekend with Gemma.
Saturday morning we went to Belper to the river gardens and the horseshoe weir, which is an incredible piece of civil engineering!
The gardens are lovely and tranquil. It was a great little alternative to our usual trip to Dovedale - which we called off because the weather wasn't great.
Had a lovely morning though!
