Foundation work: before the concrete is poured

Photos from December 15, 2005

Looking north toward the BEG: power conduits where they enter the building.  To the left in the background, plumbing pipes poke out of the dirt - this is where the bathrooms will be located.

Looking east along the southern side of the building: new chilled water lines.  Junction goes to the Water Resources lab south of the building (note cut preexisting line sticking out of the left side of the trench - this runs underneath the building footprint and will be removed).  A temporary water chiller is keeping them air conditioned for a few weeks while work continues on the new lines.

Looking north - the chilled water lines where they enter the building.  An exposed pier is just to the left.

Looking west along the north wall: construction of the grade beam, which forms the perimeter of the base of the building.

Looking east along the north wall: rebar poking out of piers.  Grade beam construction will begin here soon.
