Building the Plinth.


Digging the hole for the footer. For this installation hard-packed gravel was used.

 

Placing and packing down the gravel.

 

The plinth or sculpture base is being constructed from pave stones and then will be finished off with a sandstone cap.



Snapping the pave stones to the correct dimensions.



Almost done.


Grinding off any imperfections so that the top cap will fit level and securely.


The top cap is in place and ready to have the sculpture placed on. The two stones in front have been left out so that once the sculpture is in place we can reach in and bolt it down. After that the stones will be slid in place.


Sculpture is in place and bolted down.
