March 15, 2013 - Farewell to anchor

The final anchor is suspended just above Lake Washington, waiting for crews to finish attaching its anchor cable.

 

The anchor is seen inside the steel jetting frame that will help it burrow into the soft sediment at the bottom of the lake. Air is pushed through the tubes of the frame as the anchor sinks into the lakebed. After the anchor is embedded in the sediment, rock is placed on top of the anchor as the final step in the anchor-setting process.
