Re: Re: Macken St Bridge – Santiago Calatrava

I’ve been looking out at this for the past couple of weeks wondering what they were up to. They seem to be boring in to the river bed and extracting samples. They have a load of little wooden boxes to hold the samples outlining their position and depth. Each one about 150cm long like those ice samples you see in the artic to monitor climate change. Anyhow, I guess they have to establish the composition of the river bed before they can design the ‘platforms’ the bridge will rest upon.
