Pier 9 foundation casting. The 20x20x3 m foundation contains approximately 1 000 m 3 of concrete and 150 m 3 of reinforcing steel. The concrete was placed in one continuous pour of 28 hours (so as to avoid having a cold joint within the foundation if it were cast in 2 or more pours). Both 40 m 3 /h concrete batch plants on site, two truck mounted concrete pumps, numerous concrete trucks and three shifts of approximately 40-50 persons each were involved.
