The
Land Rover is towed out to the site - about 1.5 miles from the tower.
Steel
tracking is used to prevent the vehicle from sinking (hopefully).
Steve,
Kev and Colin fight with the tracking (1 - 0 to the tracking).
The JCB is used to raise the the vehicle ..........
..........
so that the wheels can be removed and the axles positioned on the tracking.
Scaffolding
poles are used to secure the tracking to the ground and the vehicle to
the tracking and ground.
A
total of 6
poles are required to anchor the vehicle in what will become a very hostile
environment in just a few hours time. Pete (Serco site manager)stands
at a discreet distance to observe and make sure that safety procedures
are observed, it's a long way back to the compound and help.
