The pier stabilization work continues and today they were putting their hours on the claw machine at the arcade into good use. If you’ve ever played and cursed the claw machine, just imagine how much more challenging it is when it’s 170 feet tall and you have waves pounding!
Responsible drone note: The city of Pacifica issued a press release regarding drone usage around the crane. The text is included below. I was flying a fair distance away from the construction site, and always out over the ocean. It may look like I was closer, but I was using the long telephoto lens on my drone and also did some crop-and-zoom in post. I believe I was flying in a very safe manner, and following the city’s rules. Please be sure to act responsibly and follow the rules.
From the City of Pacifica’s Press Release regarding using drones during the stabilization: “Drone operations will not be permitted along the crane’s travel route and within the designated construction zone during the pier stabilization activities. This restriction is necessary to maintain a safe working environment for construction crews, residents, and visitors, and to prevent interference with crane operations and other critical work.”
