I went on on another bike ride the other day on Tulsa’s RiverParks trails along the Arkansas River. I took my Canon Superzoom Camera with me. I stopped again at The Gathering Place to check on the new pedestrian bridge and new dam being constructed. Not much progress so I focused on the construction equipment being used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"concrete<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the bed of the river they had this huge concrete pump putting concrete around boulders on the riverbed. So it looks like in addition to the bridge and dam maybe they are shaping the river for other purposes. I’ll have to check into that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"Trackhoe<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There were lots of tracked backhoes at work (I call them track hoes.) This one was actually on the west side of the river doing something not related to the bridge or dam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are several more on the riverbed. The contractors have constructed a huge cofferdam to divert the river flow to the west side of its banks to make room for construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"trackhoe<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And another trackhoe<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And yet another. Not too many of them were being operated the day of my ride. I have no idea why. The weather was great. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"trackhoe<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And this one had a jackhammer type attachment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you can tell, I love construction equipment and checking out construction and trying to figure out what they are doing and how they are going about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
