But in the last few days, excessive winds have hampered work from the suspended basket and at times curtailed efforts from that vantage point. “In order to do that, one of the components is what we call a subsurface investigation. That’s where we also drill vertically into the soil and rock present to determine what the engineering characteristics of that soil is, so the bridge supports will be based on that information,” said Dellamas. “If you can make lemonade out of lemons of these high winds, that’s most definitely that we’re able to get some of that work done.
