Friday Construction Photo #15

Things are really moving along! You really have to look close to see some of them. Of course, the girders and floors continue to rise and expand. Last week, it was a boxy framework; this week, we can see the basis of flooring on the fourth story.

In the right center of the photo, you may be able to see grey and white pipes sticking up out of the gravel. I believe the white pipes are plumbing while the grey are the entry of the electrical system.

Concrete forms await in the left and right corners of the site. This photo is of the concrete pumper delivering the concrete right where the workers need it. The mixer unloads into a hopper where what has to be a powerful pump pushes it along the piping of the boom for delivery. That has to be a pretty cool system ... especially for anyone who had to coerce a mixer into a tight corner to pour or horse a wheelbarrow of cement to the right spot. I've done neither but I still like it!
