Eleven nears completion

Pictured Lofty our GMK5130 works at Eleven as it gets closer to completion at the hands of Marra Construction. It is a awesome structure Marra have completed here with two towers, roof top pools and amazing views. Well worth a look if you're in the Mt Maunganui Apartment Market.

When height is not a problem

Picture our GMK4075 "Awesome" with Sully at the controls works with the team from JP Marshall Engineering. In the centre picture Mike directs a new conveyor into place at Inghams and shows us that height is not a problem as he works safely over looking the Mount wharf.

In the background of the second picture you can see one of the huge grain silos built by JP Marshall. As its almost finished but currently empty I managed to take a peak inside where I took this photo. Very cool.
