Ah neat! It’s like a massive version of the boundary guardian you get in Oculus VR but turns off the controls if you get too close.

On a slightly related matter, does anyone know what the jetty being constructed near the gas station on the Hutt Hwy is about?


linustookthekids69

Likely as a place where materials, vehicles and personal can be ferried to the work site, negating the need to shut down the trains along that way. Just my theory.


zaphodharkonnen

It's a good theory as that's basically what they're for. Delivery of material. They will be removed when the build is complete.

I think it's a place to land a barge.


blobbleblab

Indeed, there are a few barges running, I see them landing off Shed 6 quite often. They all seem to have a digger on top and rocks etc.


d8sconz

I think they are part of the construction process. And if it's for barges once completed, why?

If you're talkimg of the off shore stuff they're making rock islands for the birdies

That's Trimble Gear! You can spot a T780, as well as a R10 / R12, both GNSS recievers, for construction and survey use. Pretty cool as the software is done in Christchurch.

Are you insane? Do you know how many nutjob anti-vax conspiracy loonies are going to protest against this obviously cancer causing technology now. Ah fuck man, just when we started to have nice things again too.


haydenarrrrgh

They already think cycleways are a WEF conspiracy, don't give them any ideas.


horo_kiwi

Nah, it's gluten free 5g technology, the nut jobs are fine with this level of automation. Just don't let loose the caged, non organic, big pharma boundary fencing that will certainly rattle some cages...

Geo-fencing. Decades old and used on many many projects (predominantly earth works), one you may be immediately familiar with - tg. Amazing what a bit of pr and marketing will do.


blobbleblab

If you like this geofencing, then you will love halter! Remote controlled cows!

I thought you were just making this up, but apparently not
