On 11th June six of the seventeen steel cylinders (cans) that will be assembled into the tower arrived by barge on the beach. Progress since then has been rapid.
The first 3 cans are installed and 3 more stand ready
The jacking rig. This supports the upper completed section of the tower while it is being raised by the crane. This enables the next section to be slid in underneath and bolted on.
A second delivery of cans is scheduled to arrive today June 23rd.
The tower looks unexpectedly slender and the early fears that its bulk will unattractively dominate the seafront seem ill-founded.
