Preparing the Work Area on Top of the Salisbury Jetty
The top of the jetty has have a rough uneven surface especially in areas which have been damaged by years of storms. The excavators need to travel from the beach to the outer sections of the jetty to work on repairing it. They place rubber mats (made from old tires) on top of the jetty to create a more stable surface to travel on. The safety of the excavator operations and other construction personnel depends proper placement of these mats to made a safe road surface. This video shows an excavator moving the mats around. I am impressed with the skill the operators have in moving, adjusting, and repositioning the mats into the correct position.
