General
Position:- The project is 1 week ahead of programme with the most of the more complex south basement pours complete.

Future works for March
The first central basement slab (6B) was poured on 12/3/2012. The remaining two pours in the basement will now follow including the last core 3 area. It is targeted to have all the central basement complete by mid April.
Steel Beams & Columns:- The steelwork over the lower plant room is ready for installation now that the plant room roof slab is concreted. Holding down bolts are fixed accurately to the formwork / reinforcement in order that steel I beams and columns can be bolted to the structure after the slab is poured.
Plant Room & Services:- The service trenches to the centre are starting to be formed now that the bulk dig removal has finished. The lower level plantroom top overslab was poured on 19/3/2012.
Mezzanine Floor:- The next mezzanine level pour will be pour 9 in the south with following pours progressively moving towards the NW corner.
Ground Floor:- The first ground floor edge slabs has been poured in the north. Pour 14B was poured on 22/3/2012. As the slabs are completed and gain strength the temporary large yellow props spanning across the site will progressively be removed. To the south the Power Room is being reinforced in readiness for a concrete pour.
