Figure 1: View of the bridge pier, currently under construction, that is currently floating near the coast. Access to the pier is through the ship illustrated in the figure. The ship is modified to allow transportation of the reinforcements using trucks.
Figure 2: Another pier of the bridge.
Figure 3: Reinforcement placement in the pier, according to the design. The reinforcement has previously being transported with a truck next to the pier.
Figure 4: Interior of the pier of Figure 6. The thickness of the reinforced wall is approximately 2.0m.

Machine used to automate the shaping of the reinforcements in the shape required by the design.
Machine used to automate the shaping of the reinforcements in the shape required by the design. Used for steel rods of smaller diameter. The user has specified the geometric characteristics of the steel rod. On the left you can see the steel rod which is inserted in the machine to be shaped.
Steel rods to be used in the above machines. A label with the barcode described the technical characteristics of the reinforcement that are going to be used to.
Storage of hollow steel pipes which are installed to the ground below the footings of the piers to reinforce the ground. The diameter of the pipes is approximately 2m and their length 20-30m.
