Pouring Piers

This is Russell (our excavator) pouring the concrete into a 600mm diameter pier. The small piers (450 diameter) fill up pretty quickly, and tended to over-fill --- so its out with the shovel to move the excess into the next hole! All piers were filled to 600mm below the ground line, top allow for a 500mm deep beam to be poured over the top (in the next stage of work). Fortunately, none of the fill around the piers collapsed, even with the concrete truck being very close at times.
