The long arm of the pour

| Pouring arm in action, 29th January 2018 |
This pour, on the 29th of January 2018, is the first time I actually saw the pouring arm in action. This pour is level with the rooftop carpark of the Imperial Centre.

It’s really clear in this photo how high the site was on the 29th of January.

| Pouring again, 19th of February 2018 |
This pour seen on the 19th of February, 3 weeks later, is one floor above the rooftop carpark and one floor above the building to its right, which we can see across the bottom of the picture in white.
Swarming with workers

| Site swarming with workers as usual, 29th January 2018 |
This site is always swarming with workers but organised and calm too. That’ll be why it’s one of the fastest building sites in Gosford.

| Step by step to get it right, 5th February 2018 |
Working things out first to get it right the first time, 5th of February 2018. These two workers were in a small enclosure in the rooftop carpark of the Imperial Centre. There wasn't enough room on the always-busy site itself for them to work.

| Transporting re-bars, 5th February 2018 |
Moving materials around the site. 5th of February 2018.

| Getting things done, 5th February 2018 |
It's always elbows and backs on this site. 5th of February 2018.

| Come in spinner, 5th February 2018 |
Come in, spinner! One worker stands well back as the crane operator (looking up) guides another load of materials into place with the controls at his waist.
 |
| Preparing materials for lifting, 5th February 2018 |
Down at ground level, at the back of the site, another worker strips away packaging to ready another load of materials to be lifted to the top of the site. 5th of February 2018.
 |
| Up near the top, 13th February 2018 |
Workers amongst a forest of scaffolding near the top of the site on the 13th of February 2018. Not much wind that day, judging by the off-cut holding down the plans on the wall of the building next door.

| Waiting to deliver, 29th January 2018 |
Another concrete delivery for the pour in the background, something in transit on the crane above and behind it and, in the foreground, another tradie waiting to get to work. 29th of January 2018.
That’s all for today, folks. A quick one to catch up. See you again next Friday, I expect.
