2. EARTHWORKS
The earthworks have commenced and shown is one of the excavations for a besser block retaining wall which will be sealed and stormwater line installed to manage excess water and direct it to the stormwater system.

5. FORMWORK
Shown here is the formwork for the concrete tilt panels, which are all cast on site and then lifted into place by crawler crane. The panels are cast on top of each other up to approximately five at a time.

6. CRANE BROUGHT IN
With the form work stripped the precast panels are exposed and ready for the crane, once they are all cast the heavy lifting crane is brought in and they are usually all installed in a day.
