Concretes

More of the same today, however lots of pics to show off the hard work.

One of the hard pictures to get on the track gang is the synchronised bend and grab manoeuvre, captured here during the bend phase

We did need to upgrade diggers when picking up the plates, as the little digger just wasn’t up the task.

Some rail needed moving to fix up the joint locations. The joints from here on for several hundred metres shouldn’t require adjustment, meaning we should be able to achieve things a little more efficiently.

It was all systems go today, with the gang doing a great job of keeping up with the digger.

Some jacking and packing saw any major issues corrected, and it’s easily now better than it was previously.

A very big tidy up was had, bundling sleepers and stacking the rubbish timber clear of the drains.

A bit of a scrape to bring in the edges and clear the drains certainly made the job look much more finished.

It’s come up looking a treat and based on the very poor timbers that had we removed in kit form, this wasn’t before time.

Monday, we’ll be having a change of pace. There won’t be a formal workday as there’s several small things to tend to around Maldon Yard. Tuesday will be back to situation normal. Meeting Maldon 8am or on site from 8.30am.
