ABLE UK - A Testament to Engineering Excellence in the 1980s
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the bustling construction scene of the 1980s, where innovation and progress were at their peak. Standing tall near Hartlepool nuclear power station, we witness a remarkable sight - twin concrete legs emerging from the ground with sheer grandeur. These colossal structures, each towering over 150ft high, are an integral part of a trio that will soon support a gas production platform in the vast expanse of the North Sea. Crafted by John Laing ETE at Graythorp yard for Hamilton Brothers Ravenspurn gasfield off Norfolk coast, these magnificent legs embody human ingenuity and determination. They serve as a testament to both engineering excellence and collaborative efforts between businesses during this era. As we gaze upon this awe-inspiring image captured on March 2nd, 1989, we are transported back in time when small businesses thrived alongside industry giants. The memory of these monumental structures evokes nostalgia for an era defined by ambitious construction projects and technological advancements. Let this photograph be a reminder of our ability to conquer challenges and push boundaries through collective expertise. It stands as an enduring symbol of human achievement amidst nature's mightiest forces - forever etched in history thanks to Teesside Archive's dedication to preserving precious memories like these.
