[THEME] Construction

[fentriss]

Thought this will fit in two ways to the theme. "Construction" - "Deconstruction" and also lens manufacturers, this time Rodenstock. In the year 2012 the rodenstock main building was on destruction. All starts in the year 1887 at this place at Isartalstraße, and all the buildings have been gone in 2013. Rodenstock had over 130 employeers at this place back in the year 1913.

A new bridge is assembled in the harbour. It is for pedestrians and cyclist.
Impressive precision from a floating crane
The bridge deck arrived Tuesday evening, and now Thursday all four are in place.
The bridge will open for traffic in the autumn.
This is big and heavy things for a guy doing electronics

Bent, great shot of a rather nice looking crane! The bright-looking processing works well for this subject.

+1 to all the above. The crane becomes a character here, taking the center stage with aplomb. The scale makes it (him?) powerful and graceful.

very nice to see that infrastructure can be built intelligently and gently along the path of necessity and beauty and ingeniousity instead of along the path of corruption, incompetence and ego caring.

Thank you, Bent!

Beautiful.

Thank Keith, Paco and Frank.
I see now on my iPad, that the image is very bright, but is was a lovely sunny spring day.

Testing of construction material in marine environment - and the urge to construct

Wild construction animals

[Jack Dahlgren]

Another construction animal is this pile drilling rig. 24" (600mm) auger on the end drills and compacts a hole which is then filled with concrete and steel reinforcing. On this project the piles are about 10M long and support nearly 60,000 KG. This is quieter and less disturbing than the traditional method of driving piles with a diesel pile driver.

I'm guessing that drilling is also faster than pile driving.

Depends mostly of the soil coherence ! In some ground sections with natural holes (gypsum, lime, etc.), driving in a tube will allow not filling up with concrete the linked cavern...
