Post pictures of amazingly cool engineering

Thialfs had a lick of paint since i was last on it, and looks like from the video showing the back deck that the ROV's have been de-mobed.
That Dockwise vessels not a looker though, wonder why they have gone for that design at the front as they state that the primary scope will be transporting semi-subs.

OK, so a Time lapse of a Shipbuild instead ?

"In a shipyard in South Korea workers are building the world’s largest ships – 400m long Triple-E container vessels. The 20 ships are called the ‘Triple-E’ class for the three main purposes behind their creation — economy of scale, energy efficiency and environmentally improved — the ships will set a new industry benchmark for size and fuel efficiency.
Four-hundred metres long, 59 metres wide and 73 metres high, the Triple-E is the largest vessel of any type on the water today. Its 18,000 TEU (twenty-foot container) capacity is large enough to hold 111 million pairs of sneakers."
there's those technical international ISO units again.....
That's excellent!http://www.picturecorrect.com/tips/timelapse-photo...

Fifteen years ago, in Singapore we had to rig up this shallow water gun boat for a crew in Brunei. When it arrived it was empty, offloaded from the cargo ship into a field in Jurong. Two months later it had a whole bunch of heavy steel framework added, a dozen 500lb air guns, and two 2000psi air compressors.
It then required a 1500 ton floating crane to pick it up and drop it into the water 50 metres away....

Lol that photo was so big is was like back to www 8 years ago on my is slowly revealing itself! :-) grate engineering project love the scale involved, my background is in mining that has some great challenges!
Yes some of the mining stuff is VERY cleaver. My dad was a cheif draughtsman in south Notts about 25 years ago. Some of the projects (underground bunkers (vertical and horizontal) being one) where very impressive. Very British in mentality as well. It needed to be done so they just made the things work. LolBig valve !
Crews at NASA's John C. Stennis Space Center installed a 96-inch valve March 26 as part of an ongoing project to upgrade the high-pressure industrial water system that serves the site’s large rocket engine test stands. When completed, the upgraded system will have the capacity to flow 335,000 gallons of water a minute at 300 psi, which is needed during rocket engine tests

and even bigger ones....Crews at NASA's John C.

I think the photo was taken at Markham's in Chesterfield. I don’t think they actually put the van on the valve, it was photo-shopped on , but it’s the right size...

The rest of the system will be pretty impressive if it can flow 1.5m litres of water per minute at 300psi... Crews at NASA's John C.

This isnt as big engineering as above!
Logged roughly 1,400 hours of in-flight operations keeping it steady enough that subtle vibrations in Pathfinder's position—won't exceed 2 nanometers accuracy. You have to counter the pressure from sunlight pushing on the spacecraft (about 25 micronewtons). "Here's another way of thinking about it: when the thrusters fire at full throttle, they produce a maximum force of 30 micronewtons—equivalent to the weight of a mosquito landing on the spacecraft," said John Ziemer of JPL

Just find this amazing how you can measure the movement in spacecraft higher accuracy needed to get 2 nonometer. All this to measure gravity waves!
