Description: The Ras el Tin Harbor in Alexandria, Egypt, is the setting for the elaborate process of creating a concrete block foundation using a crane barge. To prepare for the installation of the 'Bedding Stone,' sediment deposits must first be removed. With precise techniques and heavy machinery, concrete blocks weighing up to 87 tons are laid down to create a stable base for further construction. Divers, floating cranes, and transport pontoons are all part of this fascinating construction process, which requires meticulous planning and execution.
