Construction World May 2024

Pier 9 foundation casting. In the background one can see pier 1 which is at the height of the underside of the future deck, Pier 9 will have the highest of the 15 piers reaching approximately 88 m in height.

The sliding formwork for Pier 10 (the second highest pier) under assembly. Starting the week of 19 February 2024 and rising slowly and continuously at a rate of 4 m/day the entire 84 m high pier will be cast over 22 days working 24/7 with only one pause at around 60 m, which will be required to extend the tower crane.

View of the massive construction site dwarfed by the majesty of the landscape.

Photo shows how the sliding formwork looks when the contractor slid the first pier (Pier 1) late last year. Top platform is for fixing steel, 2 nd platform for casting concrete and lowest platform for finishing the concrete.
