    Watched a programme a few years ago when the Chinese were building a bridge a month with that machine. Fantastic bit of kit. Wonder what the hire rate per week is

    There really are some clever people out there that have strange idea's that just work and blow everything out the window.

    That's an impressive solution, very cool.
    Day rate 20 thousand dollars? Just a guess.

    I always remember that the impressive civil engineering in Thunderbirds is forever failing in disastrous ways. ;-)

    Thanks for posting.

    Just think how many hundreds of miles of bridges and viaducts they must be building to make it worth having a fleet of machines like this.

    I was living in Chennai 4 years ago and they had a couple of theses running around the city building the elevated metro line infrastructure. They were only putting in one piece per day there though.
    Great to watch.
