     required.
•    If necessary, screw piles will be installed prior to reinforcement placement.
•    Concrete footings will be poured in accordance with the engineering specifications.
•    Once cured, the angled concrete plinths or pads will be fixed to the footings.
•    The boats will then be positioned and secured on top of the plinths.

All mounting points will be pre-coordinated with the project engineer and builder to ensure
compatibility with site conditions and structural requirements. These mounting points,
embedded in the underside of each concrete boat, are designed to withstand environmental
factors such as wind loading. Lifting lugs will be integrated into the concrete to facilitate safe
and precise installation.

Each sculpture will be placed near its final location, inverted, slung with the crane, rolled
upright, and lowered onto the prepared plinths. Final positioning and fixing will be completed
on site.

Following installation, all surrounding landscape areas will be reinstated and turfed to council
standards where applicable.
