The next phase of construction started in full the last week of October. We are now working on the pile caps and short columns up to the basement level. There is currently about 120 workers on site. We should get up to 150 workers on site in the next few days. These will be the full time workers. Once we start doing larger concrete pours (slab pours) the number of workers will quickly increase during those days. By the end of November we anticipate being able to start casting the basement slab.
(Site overview)
(Pilings are excavated down to a set level - All by manual labor)
(Dry season just started so the water table level is very high - feels like it is dropping at least a couple inches a day right now though)
(Pile head breaking down to the desired depth - A 3" thick concrete slab is poured prior to breaking to make a platform for breaking and setting up form work.)
(Pile Cap form and steel work)
(Pile Cap casting)
(Removing pile cap form work and installing the short column forms to the basement slab level)
(Remove water then back fill and compact around the pile caps)
(Evening work to make use of the cooler temperatures)
(Progress on the BBCB building - Second level is now completed up to the lintel height)
