Old concrete dolphins stood on bored piles beside the Island Eastern Corridor at North Point, in a seabed at −4.0 to −5.2 mPD.
- Divers hand-dug around each pile.
- They cut the pile about 500 mm below the seabed, so nothing would be left standing proud.
- A crane barge lifted the dolphin cap and piles onto a flat-top barge.
- The dolphin was taken away and broken up.
