Shoal Structure nears completion…

 SH Structures have been working through the night to erect Runs 1 and 2 of the Shoal. Last week Daniel Rea from our studio joined them in the early hours and managed to capture some of the erection process. SH are now moving on to Run 3 and the Grove Clouds. By the end of February 2012 the steel structure will be complete. The next major event will be on Wednesday 22nd February when the first Shoal Leaves arrive on site.
