Lowering rebar assembly towards borehole
Adding pipes to funnel, to direct concrete right to bottom of borehole...
Spoil from bore holes was put in a skip. A dump truck carries the spoil away.
Lowering pipe-string into borehole...
A cormorant looks for lunch.
Preparing for concreting...
Larger diameter rebar assembies will be used later, in pillar construction...
The concrete arrives...
Concrete flows... note the suction hose for removing water from the hole...
Meanwhile, an official takes photos...
...and makes notes
..as the concrete pour continues
Pouring halts while the funnel pipe-string is shortened..
Pouring recommences...
