Pyle's piles posing an obstacle Much of the steel piling intended to support roadways on the Ballinaboy site has been found defective and may need to be replaced, claims an inside source. An anonymous source on the Ballinaboy site has revealed that Shell may have encountered a major obstacle in their preparation for construction of the Corrib Gas terminal. While attempting to dig a ditch on the site, a section of steel piling was discovered to be defective. When other sections of the piling were examined, it was found that a large number of other piles were suffering the same problem. The piling is essentially what is supposed to support the roads on site over which they intend to transport large amounts of peat, machinery, materials etc. |

Jump To Comment: 1 2Some anonymous unsubstantiated rumours that have been reported anonymously on an internet board “alone are sufficiently serious to call for a cessation of work….”. Ahhhh, I am not quite sure if you know how things work in the real world but this won’t cut it.
Sorry Jim but the source was actually the up to now dormant and still toothless Project Monitoring Comittee!! - set up to fool local people into thinking the might have some leverage on the Shell/government juggernaut here in Erris
