East Bay and Pearman Girder Removal
Yesterday, Sparky saw the removal of the next set of Pearman girders.
and placing them on top of the next section
So this
morning I went out to check the progress from East Bay St. Here is
a quiet East Bay - work in progress removing roadway on the Grace
and removing concrete girders from the Pearman.
Looking north up East Bay, you can see that the Grace roadway removal
has made it half way across the north bound lane of East bay.
Looking west from the Ravenel bicycle / jogging lane - a Grace(ful) skeleton
Meanwhile girder lifting action is going on at the port entrance.
Here is the crane
and a shear preparing to lift one end of the girder.
After the rebar is cut (and burned) a little lifting action from the crane.
more lifting
then rotate the girder to rest on the Pearman roadway
the lower the girder a bit
and lower to the girder resting place
and remove the shackles - and so the next iteration starts
