The project is about to enter the construction stage. This photograph shows Ing. Louis Huguet cheeking the technique used by the men in charge of measuring tree-growth. A hollow increment borer is inserted until it reaches the central part, then extracted and a wooden “cigarette” pushed out of its interior. It shows very clearly the growth rings.
