At the end of the west pier where the long pipe terminates from the dredger in the harbour there now sits a pile of sand and gravel, proof that a lot of material is being removed from the harbour as planned.
However, at first light this morning a JCB was seen in action moving sand and gravel to form a pile under the pipe! Why? The only reason we can think of is to give the appearance that all is going well but we're sure there's a more plausible explanation?
As the weather worsened this afternoon it was observed by The Gurn that the road alongside the harbour had been closed due to subsidence - http://www.gurnnurn.com/2017/12/nairn-harbour-access-closed-due-to.html
Could it just be a coincidence that the sheet piling that supports the road has rusted through? It could of course be the effect of the dredging undermining the piling, or perhaps the result of the heavy crane that was in situ for quite some time removing boats from the harbour
Whatever the reason the road is likely to be out of action for quite some time and it's going to take a lot of money to fix. Perhaps going for the cheapest quote to dredge the harbour will prove that you don't get something for nothing
Most likely a large vehicle went too near the edge
ReplyDeleteAs the person in charge of the crane out, if you look at any off the photos taken that day, you will see that the crane was parked outside the club yard, as it always is, due to the reach of the crane, you just have to look at the state of the steel piling around the harbour, installed in the 1930's, and not been touched since .
