Taken in film simulation mode. This is the water tank used at the ocean reef marina development. The water is used to keep the dust down during siteworks at the development. Such a beautiful scene.

Thanks.
Ochtendzon weerkaatst op de haak en kettingen van de mobiele kraan, tegen een egale lucht. De kraan heeft net de arm afgekoppeld waarmee eerder de laatste vloerbalken zijn geplaatst aan deze kant van het gebouw. Nu laat de machinist de haak en kettingen zakken, vermoedelijk om er een contragewicht aan te hangen. Waarschijnlijk wordt de kraan hierna verplaatst om op een andere plek verder te werken aan de verdiepingsvloer.
🇬🇧 Morning sunlight reflects off the hook and chains of the mobile crane, set against a clear sky. The crane has just detached the lifting arm that was used to place the last floor beams on this side of the building. Now, the hook and chains are being lowered—likely to attach a counterweight. The crane will probably be repositioned soon to continue work on the upper floor from a different spot.

The blocks were commissioned by Leeds County Borough Council. The Primary and Alternate addresses are the indiviudal addresses of each tower block; all are current and of equal status. The ten-storey block is on The Parade. The nine-storey blocks have addresses on The Drive and The Close. The seven-storey blocks have addresses on The Garth and The Lane.The Primary Name is the name that was given to the contract for the development. (1)
The scheme was a mixed development that provided 448 dwellings in seven slab blocks between five and ten storeys in height. Each dwelling consists of an entrance hall, living room, kitchen, larder, bathroom, separate w.c., 1 to 3 bedrooms and a balcony. Thirteen garages and six shops were also included on the 10.5 acre site. The density of the development was 139 people per acre. Refuse disposal for the blocks was by the unusual Garchey system whereby waste was flushed directly down the sink. The system was connected to the Refuse Disposal Station at Quarry Hill flats. The first group of finished dwellings were officially opened by Alderman F. H. O'Donnell JP on 12th November 1957. (2)
The cost for the total development was £943,368 (excluding siteworks). W. V. Zinn and Partners were the structural engineers. L. C. Wakeman and Partners werer the quantity surveyors. L. Bewsher was the Architect-in-charge. (3)
