Here you can see steel reinforcement being craned onto the 3rd story in preparation for a concrete pour.
You can see a pipe line here. This pipe line goes for miles and is pumping concrete from the basement all the way up onto the 3rd level where the workers have been laying reinforcement.
These columns are close to full strength, almost ready for the next stage of construction. You can see the starter bars above the ligatures and internal column reinforcement, they have been left exposed in readiness for the 3rd level concrete floor slab.
Dead loads can be seen here. Steel formwork, having been dismantled from lower levels and now waiting to be re-used as this shopping centre quickly gains height and breadth.
This scissor lift (and the fact that this site is a Union site) is the reason I cannot go up and watch the concrete pour. All workers have to be raised up to the next level by this lift. The site is bustling, and i was very lucky to be allowed on site.
This, I have been told by one of the consruction workers on site, is a post-tension cable. I thought it an interesting photo for inclusion on my blog.
