First Concrete

Today it was time to add concrete to the platforms that was ready for it.

Was everything ready for concrete?
Rebar - check
Pillar rebar connection - check
Cleaned - check
Distances in place - check
Forms ok - check
Concrete quality - check
Vibrators connected and working - check

OK, two concrete trucks arrived - 4 m3 was poured into the forms

To avoid to much moving of the soil, only half of the holes/platforms are ready for concrete. Later on when these are ready, they start with the remaining ones. The vertical rebars is for the pillars from the platform and up to the ground.


Important to keep the area clean.

Ready to start filling the forms

Filling, many workers.


Using vibrators to get air out from the concrete.

Looks good?




Noticed something on this photo.
Check the nice repair of the electrical socket/wires. 
Not so important here - enough secure to get the job done.
