- Video - Managing Concrete

- The early AM queue of cement trucks at the

Military Rd gate marked today as a cement day.

Cement was offloaded into the crane bucket,

delivered to the floor structures on the west side,

and managed into its productive format. A full

crew worked hip deep in cement. (0:13 min)

• Friday, 27 June, 2014

The Senior Site Supervisor answered questions

about the blue cables -- post tension cables --

and the gang forms, as the ant hill grew more

orderly. Unlike the other days this week when the

crew worked until 7P, work stopped at about

3:30P.

The video and the photos to the left show the ant

hill pushing higher.

• Tuesday, 24 June, 2014

The Ant Hill At Work: All over the site, there was

activity that was dramatic only in before and after

photos; watching the work real time was as

tedious as watching ants at work. About half of

the crew worked late until just before 7P.

•  Monday, 23 June, 2014

- Video The video activity was in the NE corner,

just above center, and in the NW corner, just to

the left of the center tree; two video viewing are

necessary to watch the activity in both places

- There were dramatic visual changes today. The

ramp down to the basement parking took shape.

The below-ground retaining wall were almost

finished, cemented up to the ground floor. The

gang forms for several walls on the Connecticut

Ave side went up quickly. And work continued on

the the cement pillars for the next level.
