"Soon after the project broke ground, we came here to prepare for the landing stage. As the construction site had a high wave of over 3 meters, a maximum surge cycle of 14 seconds and a current speed of over 1.5 meters per second, we had to have a 'watcher' in charge of observing waves when we began construction," said Cheng Duoyun, chief engineer of the Sinamale Bridge project.

"Once a surge was coming, the watcher would give an immediate warning. Upon hearing of the observer's shout, workers would stand up instantly with their welding tongs raised high, and continued welding after the waves died down," Cheng.
