    Why is it so?

    Please explain,,

    why are some pylons round and some square?
    Is the RED stairway netting a safety feature?
    from this angle at least two pylons arent vertical?
    Is the tall white tower a concrete pumping thingo?
    What is the looped hose for on the pylon drilling machine? Hydraulics?

    Buying available specials ex-Bunnings

    It might be a rubbish chute.

    Often the case to distribute loads in different directions.

    Is the tall white tower a concrete pumping thingo?
    Tower crane.

    What is the looped hose for on the pylon drilling machine? Hydraulics?
    Where are we going with this, Pedro?
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    Looped Hose

    On oil and gas drill rigs the hose (called a Kelly Hose) carries drilling mud into the drill pipe and down to the drill bit. The mud provides lubrication for the drill pipe, carries cuttings from the well and provides hydrostatic pressure to prevent blow outs. Maybe this hose does something similar, I guess not the pressure side but carrying out cuttings and providing lubrication.

    Perhaps they have been looking at the Taj Mahal, where the towers ( minarets? ) are built leaning outwards so they kook vertical in perspective. Just a thought...

    Funnily enough,,,
    I expected a few serious reasons why all these things are as shot,,,

    If this was covered in red dust and 1000kays from the nearest maccas I'd be hard up to keep up with the replies,,,


    no worries John, just thought there'd be someone in "normal" construction.
