		The construction methods used for the foundations were those commonly employed in building offshore concrete platforms: Each foundation base was constructed to a height of 15 m in a dry dock and then towed and moored to a wet dock.
		Once the construction of the first of the two bases was completed and towed to the wet dock, the partially constructed second base was floated into the spot previously occupied by the first base and used as a closure for the dry dock.
		During the construction of the conical shaft at the wet dock the foundations remained afloat and moored, and their balance was quite sensitive to wind and currents.

	McGraw-Hill Construction Design-Build
		Vinci, one of the world’s largest international contractors based in Rueil-Malmaison Cedex, France, in 1986 was asked by the Greek Public Works Ministry about how a fixed-link crossing could be developed.
		The project stagnated as committees debated and assessed and by 1989, Vinci realized that the Greek government would never take the responsibility for an engineering and construction challenge of this scale, and that the risk had to be transferred to the private sector.
		Vinci set about promoting the project as a concession, using the Severn Bridge in the U.K., which was under construction at the time, as an example of what could be done.
