Hi y'all
Dunno if anyone else saw the programme 'Megastructures' this evening about the tidal surge defences around the Netherlands, but when they came to the floating/sinking gates that protect Rotterdam there was one little detail that made me sit up and take notice.

On the lattice structure that supports the gates each weld took 160 hours - where's the :gulp: smilie when you need one
Steady ole' job then
