The construction for the static fire stand at Masseys is pretty neat looking. There is a ramp that goes up to a pit. A giant sliding structure that can cover the pit. Which will allow SPMTs to carry the platform the ship will sit on and place it over the pit. The pit itself will have a pair of water cooled curved structures that look like a pipe organ.
They spent months prepping the flame trench using a slurry wall technique that used the ground itself as a concrete form since the water table was too high to excavate a pit. Then they built a huge slab on top of the wall. For the past few weeks they've been excavating the trench and under the slab.
