yeah, we're building a castle. a new one. a better one. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin_Palace
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.

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.”

I'm taking Genevieve Crabe's Mandala class on www.craftartedu.com; and this is my first one, drawn with a ruler, compass, and protractor. (I know! SCARY, huh, except NOT! She takes all the mystery out of the little bit of math and makes it easy. Way easy! This is the first template she walks you through, there's one more, which I will do, and then I will make my own. Such fun! BTW, mine is different than hers by the tangles in the sections.

This photo + the traction engines was created by what i think is a technique which i think i have discovered.I have seen no other explanation as to how i have done this.It is done in Adobe ACR and takes seconds to create.On some Photo's,especially where there are people it creates a psuedo 3d HDR effect.

Rather obvious, but the Chase Bank logo icon is based on the regular octagon. The spaces between the shapes (the white "stripes") appear to be of an arbitrary thickness.
A view captured from the north end of the aging trestle bridge on the morning of Monday, 26 March 2018, showing the existing bridge at left and the new bridge gradually taking shape at right across the Moutoa Floodway flood plain. It is now becoming evident that the new bridge will be considerably higher than the old structure.
WHIROKINO TRESTLE AND MANAWATU RIVER BRIDGE REPLACEMENT
In the first week of December 2017, work started in the setting up for bored piling at the new Trestle Bridge. These piles will form the foundations for the central piers that will support the bridge structure. There are 36 in total and each pile is 1.5 metres in diameter and approximately 25 metres deep. First we’ll drill a hole, install a reinforcing cage, and then fill the hole with eight trucks of concrete. Each pile will take around one day to complete.
Once the piles are completed, the bridge columns will be constructed. These are six metres high and will support the cross heads and bridge deck which will sit on top.
The Trestle Bridge bored piling will take around two months to complete, then work will move south to the Manawatu River Bridge.
$70 MILLION REPLACEMENT OF BRIDGES NEAR FOXTON UNDER WAY
Work is now well underway to replace two existing bridges on SH1 between Levin and Foxton. The replacements will enable more efficient heavy freight movements on SH1, improve safety, and provide a better environment for cycling. The existing bridges are Class 1 and 50MAX capable, but HPMV need to travel via Shannon, a 14km detour.
Constructed in 1938, the existing Whirokino Trestle Bridge is a 1.1km-long, reinforced concrete bridge over the Moutoa Floodway and adjacent floodplain. It is narrow, nearing the end of its life, and not strong enough to carry some heavy vehicles. It requires ongoing maintenance to keep it functioning to full capacity.
The existing Manawatu River Bridge is a 180m-long, structural steel bridge over the Manawatu River, constructed in 1942. Like the Whirokino Trestle Bridge it is narrow, but also at risk from liquefaction in an earthquake.
At present there is no shoulder for cyclists on the existing bridges. The existing walking and cycling track on the floodplain will be retained, and the new bridges will provide a 1.2m-wide shoulder for cyclists.
Investigations identified a preferred option for the replacement of both bridges on an alignment immediately to the west of the existing SH1. The project cost is estimated to be $70 million and the works will take between two and three years to complete.
A site access point has been created on the northern side of the trestle, allowing construction traffic access to the flood plain. This involved widening the shoulder on the left hand side (heading towards Foxton). Temporary traffic management will be in place while this access point is being used with a 70km/h speed restriction for approximately 300 metres.
Ground improvements in the form of concrete lattices are being installed. They are built with interlocking groups of piles that together form a framework that looks a bit like a beehive. These lattices strengthen the ground, keep sand and silt in place and help stop liquefaction in the event of an earthquake.
Concrete lattices will improve the ground for the northern and southern abutments of the new Manawatu River Bridge, and on the south abutment of the new Whirokino Trestle. Each abutment concrete lattice takes about four weeks to complete.
There will also be an intersection upgrade between the two bridges, where Whirokino Rd and Matakarapa Rd meet SH1.
The project is due to be finished in May 2020.
