The Jay Robertson was a large jack-up barge working in the River Severn near Severn Beach, during the construction of the Second Severn Crossing. It was used to drill piles through the sea bed for two viaduct support piers close to the Severn Rail Tunnel. The photograph was published in December 1992 in Laings monthly newsletter Team Spirit
