Condition
The remnant structures are the only remaining pylons from the boom net. They are in poor condition. The timber above the waterline is heavily weathered and shows signs of splitting. Towards the top of each pylon are deep cut-outs in the timber, presumably designed to support the former platform. All the underwater elements are heavily covered in marine growth. The collapse of one pylon in 2008, which was not noticeably different in condition to the other three when inspected in 2007, suggests the remaining pylons are likely to be rapidly deteriorating.
