There's quite a lot of construction going on in and around Sandton at the moment and it seems wherever you look some new edifice is rising from the red Highveld soil. I've actually been wanting to photograph this site, the new Discovery headquarters, for some time, since before the structure started rising as it is in this photo. A few months ago all you could see on the site at street level were five or six cranes and I wanted to create a composition with them. But for one reason or another I could never just seem to get there. The other day I had reason to drive past the site again and thought the scaffolding was looking quite interesting. So I woke earlier than usual on Sunday and headed back for a few shots. This is just one I took with my phone. I'm still working on some others and will decide later whether or not to post any (Generally, I don't like posting pics from one session that look too similar.) The building under construction in this photo is across the road from this one I shot a few months ago Discovery is a company that sells health and other insurance.
I have visited this site a few times now though dismissed any activities as only fences and warning signs with road closures existed, however today I could see signs of new breakwaters starting to take shape , hence I have captured a few photos and created a folder to archive the progress of this project that will be complete sometime in 2020.
Regular weekly visits to this site for me going forward, posting only any significant progress shots I take .
Hope to capture the dredgers on video and some really good archive photos of this projects journey between now and 2020.

Aberdeen Harbour Expansion Project Approval Announced
Commencement of a £350 million project to expand facilities at Aberdeen Harbour, which was recently granted planning consent in the form of Marine Licenses and a Harbour Revision Order by the Scottish Government, was yesterday sanctioned by Aberdeen Harbour Board. The construction contract with its preferred bidder, Dragados UK is due to be formalised at a signing ceremony today (20th December).
“We are delighted that, after six years of detailed planning and extensive consultation with our many stakeholders and the regulatory authorities, we are now in a position to approve commencement of construction”, stated Colin Parker, Chief Executive of Aberdeen Harbour Board.
Following a detailed engagement process, Aberdeen Harbour Board, in partnership with Dragados UK, a main contractor, will develop facilities over the next three years that will represent a step change in the marine support capabilities in Scotland. These will transform the port’s ability to accommodate the trend for larger vessels we are witnessing across a whole range of industries.
The expansion will afford existing customers the opportunity to diversify and expand their interests, whilst attracting new customers and markets to the port, including up-scaled decommissioning activity, a more significant share of the available cruise vessel fleet and larger more cost-effective commercial vessels”.
Alistair Mackenzie, Chairman of Aberdeen Harbour Board added, “Aberdeen Harbour has been in existence for almost 900 years. Its longevity can be attributed to its ability to adapt to changing trading requirements and being forward-thinking in delivering new and improved facilities to support its customers, while at the same time attracting new business.
This major new chapter in the port’s history continues this approach and underpins the Trust Port ethos of viewing future generations as key stakeholders. We believe that the infrastructure developed in Nigg Bay will encourage and support the continued prosperity of the city and region that the harbour serves and make a significant national economic contribution”.
The development, which is a Scottish Government National Planning Framework (3) Project and is scheduled to be completed by 2020, was welcomed by the Minister for Transport and the Islands, Humza Yousaf, who said: “This is excellent news for Aberdeen and the Scottish maritime industry, as the signing of the construction contract means this nationally significant project can now get underway in earnest.
The significant investment will bring jobs and business to Aberdeen, supporting the local and national economy. The historic harbour will be transformed to accommodate larger vessels, opening up potential new revenue streams and offering customers world-class marine support facilities.
These are exciting times for Aberdeen Harbour. I wish everyone involved in the project every success and I very much look forward to following the expansion as it progresses.”
Dragados UK were named as the Board’s preferred bidder in September this year, and the company announced that they plan to commence construction on site in early 2017.
The new facilities will include 1,400 metres of new quay, with a water depth of up to 10.5 metres and will create an additional 125,000 square metres of lay-down area. An independent study, commissioned by Scottish Enterprise, estimates that the development will generate an additional £1 billion per annum to the economy by 2035, and will create an additional 7,000 equivalent jobs.
Funding arrangements for the project incorporated commercial borrowing from the European Investment Bank, and funding from the Aberdeen City & Region Deal. Support for the project’s feasibility study was also received from Scottish Enterprise and from the 2013 Annual Programme Call of the European Commission’s Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) Programme.
Jonathan Taylor, Vice President of the European Investment Bank also commented: “Continued investment at Europe’s leading ports is essential to improve infrastructure and to cater for ever-changing shipping needs. The European Investment Bank is pleased to support the transformational Nigg Bay development that will significantly increase quayside space, allow deep-water access for larger vessels and ensure Aberdeen’s continued strong contribution to the Scottish economy.”

Visiting the site today Sat 26th May 2018 the only activity taking place was the dredger Goliath continuing her duties dredging with Cornelis Lily supporting .
I captured a number of shots though to be honest they only show pretty much the same activity I have witnessed previously , guess I’ll wait 3 or 4 weeks before visiting the site again .
Aberdeen Harbour Board Update
Construction has now commenced on Aberdeen Harbour Board's £350 million South Harbour. This follows six years of unprecedented public engagement by the Board and Executive Team across the widest range of stakeholders.
The pre-construction feasibility study also included a large-scale Environmental Impact Assessment, an integrated investigation into funding streams, and the creation of a Development Framework, which considered the opportunities presented by the potential investment in the new harbour for the wider Nigg, East Tullos and Altens area. Three high level planning applications were also secured: a Harbour Revision Order from Transport Scotland, Marine Licenses from Marine Scotland and for Planning Permission in Principle from Aberdeen City Council.

Taken with my little Sony WX220 zoomed out a bit. This home is set back quite always from the two roads it’s adjacent to. Next door a rather traditional house is also under construction. Edited using Snapseed.
I've finally updated my website.
I fear there are too many photos there now...also not sure I managed to keep the categories clear.....not easy, this one for example I put it under 'veiled' but it could also fit into the 'de/fences' portfolio.
Any critical comment would be welcome.
thank you friends for looking.
The site, at the corner of Pine Street and Camden Place, was formerly home to the Camden Palace Hotel arts centre and has been a garden centre and a temporary courthouse in the past. The extended site is now being redeveloped and all of the associated structures behind what can be seen in my photograph have already been demolished.
Located on the banks of the Lee in Cork city centre, Camden Palace Hotel has been providing space and facilities to artists since 2009. Incorporating fields as diverse as painting, theatre, dance, film-making, music and photography, to name but a few, Camden Palace Hotel encourages and facilitates creative experimentation, idea sharing and collaboration amongst artists of all disciplines. Camden Palace Hotel is an independent non profit arts centre, currently receiving zero funding, we are a self sufficient entity helped along by public donations and the hard work of our volunteers. We aim to encourage creative partnerships and collaboration between, artists, individuals, business, community groups and other public bodies, as well as to promote social inclusion and diversity through actively encouraging access and participation to all.
