a recent project at work we were involved in.

 

spent the whole day on site lifting a few branches and making sure the root plates & trunks were not subject to unsolicited damage.

 

very delicate operation to get 25 tonnes of Jurassic steel on to site

Nice job, they look in place there somehow, the pictures of the silhouette of T-rex (?) look really cool.

Seems a bit overkill on the transport though, would normal flatbed trucks not have been easier?

Do they have any sort of footing/anchorage or are they just on their footplates on top of the grass?

They just sit on their steel foot plates......sheer dead weight gravity keeping them standing.

 

I made sure that they were away from any land drains

 

 

RAF were invited to quote a Chinook to lift them in, but the cost was prohibitive.

 

They are enormous.
