We soldier on ...........

Due to limited access before the start of the work, knowledge of the structure was limited and therefore a lot of assumptions had to be made about the condition of the structure.  In reality things were worse than had been assumed and there was more steelwork to replace.

And then there was the weather to contend with, and, in particular, the damage to the structure caused by the storms in February 2014.  Even now, Mother Nature is in control - the constant high winds over the past six weeks have severely restricted operations at the Pier Head.  As mentioned before, there are only the last twelve trusses to install, and a couple of calm-weather weeks will (would!) see these in place.
