Pouring Concrete

During Phase Two of our Pave the Way project, there are four large concrete pours. The first of those was scheduled for yesterday, but they were prepared and did it Thursday instead.

 The sensor above ...

 ... is on this machine ...

 ... and reads a signal from this stationary laser signal ...

... so this computer can make certain the level of concrete is at the exact right height in all of the parking lot.

About 35 trucks were used, arriving 
every 12 minutes full of concrete.

Despite the GPS and computer equipment, a lot of getting the concrete in place remains a work of art.
