Thanks guys, I will try my best to keep you abreast of the progress.
Graham it's a fine art, involving a two stage process, and the results are perfect tar like substance.

Noel I am getting to caught up in the design, making sure I am using the correct steels etc, so I get the right stresses and moment connects, I need to chill an just build, if you saw the amount of time I build and then deconstruct cuz it is 1mm out of plumb, it's worse than OCD. :dizzy:
Well next stage is the connection pads for the bridge to the process building and maybe then some pipe work.

Martyn, the glue i use is from EMA a solvent its is amazing stuff and fast, i would higly recomment it but if you are going to use it to make it efficent i would suggest you get an applicator also,.

Lol, I hope you didn't forget your 'factor of safety' for live loads and dead loads when you were carrying out your structural calculations!! ;) :lol:

Wow :bow: , brought back some memories actually operated an Ethylene petrochemical plant for BP in a former life and built and commissioned some with Costain Oil and Gas. Simon Carves would be very proud! Great detail :thumbup: !
