CONSTRUCTION SITE VISIT






i was unable to visit my last site again due to the distance away from me and the business of this last week. i do plan on going their once it opens to have a look at the completed building. i would have like to go now but the CM i have contact with has changed sites and so i am unable to get on site again.





so for my last construction site visit (since i thought my last one could not really be counted) was to the building across the road of uni.





Location: Brougham Street Geelong


Building: TAC building



the top picture was taken when we went on the site visit to the woodshed site visit while the others were taken just the other day. we have been watching this building go up for some time and were lucky enough to see a precast concrete panel being lifted into place. this building also contains a composite floor structure which second image. the upper floor in the image show the floor still supported by the false work while in the lower floors the false work has already been removed leaving the bondek. it also shows precast concrete columns and panels which are used in conjunction with other material. also while we were there the was concrete being pumped into the building we were unable to see exactly where the concrete was going to however it was interesting to see how so many different things were going on at once independent from each other.
