Laying the Bradenton Beach Pipeline

What a mess at this point!

The end of pipes is fenced so little varmits won't enter. Sand is periodically covering the track.

This looks like it is going to be a pathway over the pipeline.
However, there is no ramp on the other side...just a drop-off.


Sand blowers to keep the sand moving through the pipe.
There are also banks of lights which fit over the top of pipes so they can be seen by boats and beach goers in the dark.

Special jaws on the tractor . . . made especially for picking up pipe.
