A Cool Project Update

With everything moving along well, and in the interest of not damaging equipment, they decided not to work yesterday, and were still considering what to do today. A decision was to be made at 10:00 AM. (Update: Work continues on the breakwater today)

Thank you to Hugh Scarth for a comprehensive set of minutes from the meeting with Valley Excavation last evening. Here is the synopses:

• The breakwater is out to 95 meters at this point. Of course the full length will be 120 m, keeping in mind that the visible length (above the normal water levels) will be about 114 m.
• They are using the amount of fill that they expected.
• The angle of the wharf is well within tolerance.
• They estimate that the "completion of the core, crowning and placement of the armour stone" will take about 3 weeks if all goes well.
• That will be when they continue work on the launch and haul pad and driving of the sheet pile. It is estimated this will take 2 to 3 weeks.
• Consideration is being made for the placement and support of the mast boom.

A cold spell puts things on hold. The two week
forecast is for warmer daytime highs.
