Impressive Engineering Project: Crane Barge for Creating the Foundation Surface (00093000)
(3)
Description: The crane barge for preparing the foundation surface at Ras el Tin Harbor in Alexandria, Egypt, is an impressive engineering project. With precise planning and technical finesse, concrete blocks weighing up to 87 tons were laid to create a stable base for future constructions. The use of gauge pipes, leveling beams, and folding chutes allowed for precise alignment of the leveling frames and even distribution of the stones. This process required precise coordination and expertise to ensure that the foundation surface was created to the millimeter.
