The whole of the site from the
rooftop of the Imperial Centre, on this hot and sticky 1st day of
summer.
Lifting scaffolding railings
into place on the northern side of the Singo site, in what was a half-circle
cavity in the 1st floor (US 2nd floor).
South wall (upper of these two
photos) and north wall (lower) of the site being built. The building can’t just
rest against the buildings on each side of it.
11 power-points on one
power-board! That’s more power tools at once than most of us will ever need at
home.
That round grey thing is water
storage tank and the yellow and blue piece of equipment looks like a generator.
There’s been a little bit of rain over the past week, a few light showers, and
the forecast is for a lot more rain over the next few days and there’s no way
to keep rain out of a building site at this stage of construction.
Sky high office. Crane
operators have a long long ladder to climb to get to their office but what a
view from the top! All 4 of the cranes up in Gosford this week would have a
lovely view of the water and most would also have some views north along the
Narara Valley, east towards the Tasman Sea and west into the eucalyptus forests
of the national park and state forests.
When I was taking this photo
today, I met the parents of a crane operator. I would love some feedback from
him and other crane operators about the ins and outs of working up there in the
sky. A few photos from up there wouldn’t hurt either!
Extra
3 of the 4 cranes currently up
on Gosford’s many building sites. Taken from Gosford Wharf earlier this week on
a rainy grey day.
Come back next week for more on
the Bonython Tower, Kendall Streets sites and other sites around Gosford.
