Footings

Like most building projects the building itself starts with footing trenches, reinforcing steel and concrete.

Concrete Pour

Foundations pours usually start early in the morning and this was no exception. Although the site provided plenty of room a concrete pump with boom was employed to make the work flow easier.

Even with the pump pours this large require a substantial crew.
