Week 14, Part 2- PREM rebar and concrete pour-

The PREM (Phosphorous Removal) building will be mostly hidden from view by the end of October. Even though the walls are 24 feet tall right now- inside the hole- only about 8 feet will be seen above ground when it's all finished.

To appreciate the size and strength of this structure, here are a few pictures that show the buttress rebar (total of 6 locations) before and after the concrete forms are built. Then the couplers that lock the buttresses and corners into the concrete foundation-









An early morning shot of work on the PREM forms-




The south wall of the Treatment building is poured-




...while Dennis tries to look innocent vibrating the concrete-





The south wall of Treatment building as the forms are stripped-




A quick look at some of the completed interior tanks-




And over at the PREM, work continues...
