Excavators Working in the Water (Almost)

This video was shot at high tide. The ocean is coming up nearly to the top of the broken down section of the jetty. One of excavators is working on this section. The excavator dips the claw into the water to see how far down the rocks are. Once the operator determines the depth, an appropriate size block is chosen and place in that location.

The second excavator is makings its way further out on the jetty. It stops to made adjust to the rubber mats placed on top of then jetty to create stable surface for the tractors to travel over. The construction crew takes care to create as safe a working environment as possible to protect themselves and the equipment.
