Steelwork Completed

Here is the very last piece of steel being bolted to the corner of the tower.  The depth of the excavation needed for the supporting columns is clear.   The steels are absolutely square and parallel, plus or minus 1mm.

A week on Monday Settle Coal's big Hi-ab crane, seen below on a similar job, will offload and lower into place the remaining floor panels.   Soon afterwards the walls, roof and windows.

The layout of the southern end of the extension becomes clear in the evening sunshine.
