Laying the foundations for success The first significant concrete pour has been completed for Building 14, the new home for Child and Youth Inpatient unit, Mothers and Babies and Eating Disorders Inpatient unit and Mothers and Babies Eating Disorders Outpatients. Around 450m3 was placed on the day – that’s about 100 concrete trucks! Leigh’s Construction has shared a time-lapse video of the pour with us. The slab is the first of five major concrete pours that will be staged approximately a month apart. Piling for Building 12 is complete and the first concrete pour occurred this week. This facility will be the replacement for Seager. Around 560 timber piles were placed in preparation for the foundations to go down. New footage of the site works is now available on the Prism page. It will let you see just how big the sites are and the amount of work that’s going on.
