Building the gate for the casting basin

Two of the thee sections for the gate to the casting basin have been installed. This gate is the barrier between the casting basin and Grays Harbor. The gate will be opened to let the new pontoons float out.

 

The worker standing in the lower right corner gives you some sense of the scale. The gate sections are 110 feet long, 10 feet tall and 10 feet thick, they each weigh 50 tons.
