Sections to be welded
These two giant sections of steel, which are placed carefully side by side above the drydock, will now be welded together. Once finished with that process, they will eventually be lowered into the drydock below. Much of the work is done above the drydock because it is much easier to move construction equipment around above than it is inside the drydock.
