There was a video I saw a while back, of a larger barge crane with a grapple placing 10+ ton boulders as erosion control. I was wondering if anyone has seen this video, or could tell me what kind of contractor would be hired for such a task? seems to be a cooler crane type of job.

a mystery

Weeks is one of the largest marine contractors in the world...and apparently one of the best at keeping their equipment manufacturers a secret. They plaster everything in red and put company numbers and logos all over everything. I went to their web site and despite a ton of pics...unless you really can tell the equipment by profile..you're screwed.
