Concrete pour day.

What happens here

With wheelbarrows filled with fresh concrete, workers manually transport them to the pre-positioned cylindrical concrete pier forms. Each worker maneuvers their wheelbarrow to the opening of a form and carefully tilts it to pour the concrete directly into the tube. The video indicates that each pier form, which appears to be about 4 feet deep, requires approximately seven full wheelbarrows of concrete to fill completely.

Goal: Fill all pier forms with concrete
