The city needs to get someone to look at their pump/s.

It looks like it is working fine one minute, then it cuts out and the water fills up again.

Thinking

Great work Sir. Thumbs Up

The giant crane thingy (AGD) is used to hang a hydraulic pile driver in the guide rails and shove piling in. (Leader Rig)
It grips the pile in its massive hydraulic jaw and a flow of hydraulic fluid rotates a hydraulic motor/s to drive eccentric weights. The impulse of the eccentrics creates a directional force to push the piles into the ground.
Previous pile drivers used gravity to pound piles in.
Ancient machines were steam driven.
Later machines used a single cylinder Diesel (hammer).

Hydraulic Drivers are sort of unique and can Reversing the flow and pull the piles out again.

Cool time lapse but it looks like a lot of work just to retrieve a small strip of land from the sea and create some extra berths. What was the expressed aim of the work?

Pity about the wee jettys, I was hoping they would have got another Bibby Stockholm in there after they'd dredged it out.

I went to school in Canning Town in the late 60s/early 70s. The land behind the school was mostly bomb site from WW2 and being redeveloped into giant council estates with tower blocks (Ronan point was visible from the back of the school. Being Thames marsh land, they had to drive huge piles for foundations on the bigger buildings and we got to hear the things all day long. When they first started driving a pile it was an almost continuous heavy hammering, but as the piles got deeper you could hear the piledriver winding the weight up to the top before releasing it and striking the pile again.

I don't know about bells driving you mad but...

Hey yeah this video will explain the main reasons behind the changes. A major factor is the road into Ullapool was never designed for so much traffic.
