site visit: victoria parade

This site is on victoria parade, fitzroy. From the back it looks like it'll be a carpark, but perhaps with some offices or something at the front.
This shot shows the scafffolding for the concrete roof to be poured onto metal decking. The scaffolding remains in place until the concrete is set.
A whole bunch of C purlins ready to go.
The formwork and reo, complete with bar chairs, and ditches for edge beams, plus a waterproof membrane. Almost ready for the concrete pour.

The connection between the tilt up panels and the supports. I'm using brick at the moment for my warehouse, but I wonder whether Mies might have embraced pre cast concrete if they'd been around in his day?


here is one of the load-bearing, reinforced concrete columns. notice it is in place before the concrete slab footing for the rest of the floor is poured.

check out the tilt-up panels on this baby, with the supports still in place.

this shot shows the reo in the slab on ground and the plumbing sticking out.
