Fascinating stone transport on North Headland in Richards Bay, South Africa (00092099)
(9)
Description: The stone transport on North Headland in Richards Bay, Natal, South Africa, was a fascinating process that involved the use of special steel skips. These skips were loaded on land and precisely placed on the breakwater to assist the crane operator in accurately placing the stones. Even during the shoulder fill, which required precise handling, this transport process was extremely efficient. The entire operation required a well-coordinated use of the Manitowoc 4600 crane to ensure that the stones were placed in the right locations. A fascinating insight into the engineering and logistics behind building a breakwater.
