As part of the precast delivery drivers on this project ( the 70ton deck)for the Shay Murtagh Group,it is nice to see the whole process involved. Fantastic video with good drone/night view,editing etc 👏👏
The last couple of years have been absolutely fascinating and so educational from a civil engineering aspect. I’m absolutely sure the marvellous filming by BCM and the achievements that BAM Nuttall have made will encourage many more youngsters to explore civil engineering as a potential career option. 👍🇬🇧
Absolutely super work in such tight quarters. It's all in the planning and clearly that payed off with stellar results. Bittersweet when this project closes out it's been great to watch from the beginning till now. As a PM myself, hats off to you Jack for brilliant planning right the way through.
Fantastic series of videos and this one is just exceptional including superb music. We came recently to see the work being done. I hope there is a TV documentary when it's all complete.
When you discussed the heavy crane being broken down into parts for road weight requirements, I didn’t consider the extreme LENGTH of the unit!!😮 The overhead drone shots of the crane barely making the curves of Dawlish streets was just as impressive as the rest of the video!! Great stuff!!
I was watching just before the lift, admiring your lovely sunrise, then dozed off about 9:30pm my time. When I woke up, it was in place! So, THANK YOU for this!
Great work recording all the developments with the wall, and now this. Just brilliant work from everyone concerned , from Neil and team recording, Jack of Bam Nuttall and sub-contractors, to Shay Murtagh producing these massive concrete creations. Congratulations to all involved. We were there for the week leading up to this and had a good look round all the work and saw the preparations for this lift. We were very impressed with all the modern improvements so far. Thanks.
Brilliant. Thanks as usual. The whole construction has been amazing to watch, stage by stage. The lads are amazing at work. Can't wait to see final outcome.
Thank you Neil and jack and all the work team for all the brilliant work thay have done over the last few months it's been nice following all the work,, hope to be down thar in a few months on holiday so it will be really nice to look all around it a get some nice photos,, all so hope all my lovely black swans are all well and okay,, take care all and see you soon when I arrive down thar
Please let us know which film awards you can be nominated for - we have been spellbound by the whole story of this massive project and have been able to follow even complicated processes.
As part of the team that worked on the bid for this job, it's just amazing to see it all come to fruition. So many complexities that people (including me) just don't appreciate in the early stages of a project. Fantastic to be able to see it all unfold. Well done to the whole team, subbies and all and to Dawlish Beach Cam man for capturing it all.
The professionalism of everyone involved is astounding. Image quality is superb too. I would never have thought that I would be so captivated by an engineering project, the logistics of which are mind boggling. As for the cost............!!!
Another fantastic video guys, I saw the structure yesterday up close for the first time and it’s truly spectacular. Great job done by all, and Jack should be rightly proud of the work, and the excellent way that this project has been conducted and communicated. Top job 👍
The video of the year missed it last week fell asleep as usual. I watched it close up using the pinch feature on YoTube. How amazing that it fitted perfectly no hitches. Well done Jack and his team and fabulous video by Neil. Just brilliant.
hi neil and jack a massive well done to jack his team and sub contractors for a brill install and neil once again you amaze me with your photography skills. brill video as always look forward to the next one. peter from solihull
what a fantastic video that was amazing work by Jack and his team and good filmimg by yourself Neil top man it was fantastic to see it all drop into place with only centimeters to play with great planning lads . ans thanks for sharing brilliant job can't wait to see it finished take care a t b Syddy😃👍👌
I was on holiday just down the road in Dawlish while all that was going on. I considered staying up all night to watch, but elected not to! I briefly chatted to one of the engineering team who told me that you were there, so I decided to wait until I got home and then watch the video which shows far more than I would have seen even if I had stated up all night. Just one question though. When I went to look at the new bridge next day, and again later in the week, there was a puddle on the platform and drips and stains could be seen on the underside of the bridge. Is this normal and was it to be expected? Has it now dried out?
Any idea when the new bridge area will open up and the old bridge closes? Would be a great comparison and an opportunity to see the differences looking from one bridge to the other. Great to see how far the work has come along since my last visit to Dawlish earlier this year 👍
Great video and a lovely modern station. Have to ask, does Network Rail have a policy that dictates they require just about the most expensive cranes? I see a lot of jobs filmed for NR and the over compensation factor looks massive. Could have lifted that with a 500 tonne machine, with ease.
Funny thing is nobody has mentioned that some parts of the new wall are failing already. Some expansion seals have washed away and the water can get into the gaps, I hope they fix it as like before it will fail time and time again.
Good job 👍 but I would like to ask a question on the Highways England axle weight limits for the 70 ton crane; a 14 ton axle limit is enforced for the ‘move to’, but then a short distance away, at Dawlish Warren, you are permitted to partly rebuild it, therefore above the 14 ton axle weight to move it on the local roads, which are likely built to a lesser standard than the primary trunk route ? Particularly noting the tight s-bend into town. I am confused by our standards.
Trunk roads are the responsibility of Highways England (or whatever they are calling themselves this week), the local roads are down to Devon County Council. Their respective outlooks are probably somewhat different when costs and benefits are weighed up.
On jobs like that local residents are sometimes offered alternative accommodation, especially if it's over a couple of days. That happened on a railway bridge I was on in Scotland, also with Bam.
Almost all of the overnight possessions have been on Saturday nights when the Night Riviera does not run anyway. Throughout the works, the railway has remained operations almost all of the time - it's only when working or lifting near, over or on the track that line possessions are required, which usually happen on Saturdays. There have been a few additional nights of line closures when there were no trains anyway due to strike action, and then a handful of other closures which necessitated rail-replacement buses.
@@CoastCams247 Hi thanks, I presume they ran out of time last weekend , it's a shame because they had a massive crane set up there., now they've got to bring in another large one. That footbridge is a really massive heavy structure in concrete.
Very interesting and a lot of prep. But it is getting there. I still think the bridge should be covered though, seems a shame to leave passengers exposed to the elements. Any comments,?
If this project had been done in Europe it would have been completed years ago and well under budget, sadly the UK has too many companies mismanaging HSE and making a huge pigs ear of it.
Perhaps. But that doesn't diminish the work and effort put into the whole project by the teams involved, and the great work of DBC in enabling us to see it happen on RU-vid.
@@cargy930what amazes me is the people who are moaning about it have the choice NOT to watch..some very hard work has gone into this and all they do is moan 😂
