      Generally this is usually pretty tricky as it is usually impossible to drive to bit you want to work at!

      So what I normally do is use things like floating cranes or floating diggers. And then I get huge barges filled with materials to build things and get them towed down the river to the right place. I then usually have to build a huge dam of some kind to get the area we want to work in dry.

      It’s all quite a challenge and I really love it when we manage to do all of this and build something that works!
