OK, what were these made for? Something on a ship or a bridge?

Made for big holes obviously .
I want to see the wrench to tighten them!

Looking at the photo more, I wonder if the nuts and bolts are even real on something photo-shopped.
Lots of that kinda fake stuff out there

I'm guessing sockets instead of wrenches.
Big impact??

Drop one of those nuts and it'd have a big impact for sure.

It's delivered in a concrete-delivery truck.

Maybe they're for wind turbines. They're probably tightened by air-powered sockets.

EDIT: No, probably not for a wind turbine.

Hoo boy; I see some badly skinned knuckles in a few years when someone tries to loosen a rusted bolt.

Look at what they're sitting on... If they were solid steel they would need a bit more. My guess is plastic or fiberglass "artworks" for display.
