The structure of the scaffolding matches the structure next to the dry dock.

The keel blocks are also required for larger modules that should not lie on the bare floor.

No, the scaffoldings don't match. Not even close.

Here's the scaffolding outside the dry dock. Notice the thick steel beams:

Here's the scaffolding on the module, which is entirely made of thin metal frames:

The scaffolding outside the dry dock could be for a work shed similar to the ones in the images below:

No, this is simply not true. Large finished modules are frequently stored on bare concrete surfaces without any support. Unfinished modules rest on relatively thin metal support pylons while they're being fabricated, but these pylons are not keel modules because they're not rated to support the weight of large finished modules and are not rated against salt water corrosion.

There are also thicker support pylons for large finished modules, but they are mostly used to temporarily hold the large finished modules while they're being transferred onto a

(continued from last post...)

Keel blocks are bigger, more sturdily built and can support more weight. They are used only in dry docks.

do you remember back in 2014?

Lets say: time will tell - agree?
