A grasshopper overlooking our jobsite. He was sitting on the edge of our cofferdam looking into the excavated hole where the new KY Lock is being constructed.(cofferdam- is an enclosure within a water environment constructed to allow water to be pumped out to create a dry work environment. Commonly used for oil rig construction and repair, bridge and dam work, the cofferdam is usually a welded steel structure that is temporary and is typically dismantled after work is completed. Its components consist of sheet piles, wales, and cross braces.)
