Foreground: Precast concrete panels that have been craned into place to act as a load bearing wall.Background: I beams arranged in a manner to provide for a two-way rigid framework.
- I beams can be seen stored on the ground ready for internal framing use.- Steel props can be seen supporting the precast concrete panels until the are appropriately stabilised.
- Mastic can be seen above protruding from the wall.- This brown/orange material is fitted between neighbouring concrete panels to allow for movement.
- As mastic is a foam like material it is covered with a rubbery water proof membrane which can be seen in the lower half of the above picture.
- Two holes remain in the precast concrete panels above after support struts have been removed.- Such holes are grouted over.

interesting to note that there isn't any roof structure at this ponit. From what I could see, I thought they may have put some frame work up
I agree pmker. Everything seems to be in place and ready for the roof structure to be erected, surely it is the next step in this project. Also at what point will the pre-cast concrete panels be able to stand without the supports? How long does that usually take.
