In parallel with the installation of the metal structures the gutter in front of the property is being created.
It's intense work that requires about 15 workers to act in concert.
Some installing the formwork...
... while another crew feeds the concrete mixer...
... and pouring the concrete mix in the formwork to create walls and bottom of the U-shaped gutter.
The gutter is made in several tiers. This part is drying...
... while other parts are being poured.
Andi and I help the workers define the exact placement and angles of the access ramp.
...for the future entrance
Rainwater from last night needs to be pumped-out so it doesn't corrupt the concrete.
The west wall of the gutter also serves as retaining wall for the land. Part of the wall is drying while the other part is waiting for more concrete
