Can you please 'splain the situation?

did the excavator in the back ground load the buckets on the barge?  Is there a crane on another barge to place the concrete?  How far out? Are there big barges around that could handle a pump and a couple mixers?

Pictures are worth 1000 words, but without knowing the context of what's going on it's pretty pointless.  Jus' sayin'.

there was a crane beside the excavator on land and one on the barge. we were pumping the void between the legs and the templates on a vapor recovery dock at marathon refinery. 3 buckets at a time. 650 yards total. over a period of 2 months. i had a line pump on the barge. more pics coming on same job coming now.
