Swedish winter fails to stop harbour terminal builders
Unusual seabed levelling device and specially-designed slip-form system were used to overcome cold weather problems in construction of key harbor terminal in northern Sweden; underwater grader is fastened to bow of barge; "arms" are fashioned from tubular metal shafts which extend straight down into water to maximum depth of 12 m; they are joined about 8 cm from bottom by 12-m long I-beam which serves as grading blade; metal frame structure helps speed slip-forming of 550-ton piles.
