The end of this week saw level 1 poured, the ground floor drainage approved, the ground floor being backfilled and compacted, and scaffolding start to go up on the North Eastern side of the building!
July 2021 - Structure takes shape!
The last level 3 slab pour area, pre-pour!
Monark from a distance! The tower crane is holding up a panel up whilst the props are connected to take over and hold it up.
23rd March - 28th April 2020
Level 4 lockdown was dominated by a generous use of zoom, enabling us to continue the all important Aoraki tradition... the daily team Stuff quiz. Some days were better than others, with a low of 7/15, and a high of 15/15 - but you'll just have to take our word for it as the screenshot from that day never made it to our site diary. Much planning was also done in order to make sure we could hit the ground running on our eventual return to site.
The whole team connecting. Good way to keep on track and stay sane from within our bubbles!
Work on the tower crane had to stop, but if you can't put up a real crane, you just gotta make do...
Making sure physical distance wasn't social distance... Always good to see a smiling face or two.
A bit of a low point, but we persevered and were rewarded with a 15/15 a few days later. Promise.
