How does that work? How do the containments contain the sand and paint, and where are they set up and supported?
- jaclaz 5y agoI think that they are referring to what amounts to scaffolding+shrinkwrap: https://shrinkwrapcontainments.com/image-gallery/ https://shrinkwrapcontainments.com/image-gallery/ Near the bottom of the page there are a couple photos of the Golden Gate. Most probably they have "traveling scaffolding" for the standard parts and some specific built-on-spot structures for other parts.
