Footer pour
The footing at the north abutment has been poured. The footing is 4 feet thick, 90 feet long, and took approximately 150 cubic yards of concrete to construct which is about 18 truck loads worth of concrete. That’s a lot of mud! To support the weight of all this concrete when it’s wet, the formwork is braced in the front and back to prevent the forms from blowing out.
Projecting out of the footing concrete are dowel bars which will connection the concrete in the walls, which is yet to be poured, to the footing.
