What happens here
The video shows a large concrete mixer truck backing up to the prepared formwork and discharging ready-mix concrete down its chute. Workers, identifiable by their safety vests and protective gear, guide the flow of the concrete into the form. They use various hand tools, such as shovels or rakes, to begin distributing the fresh, wet concrete across the prepared sub-base and vapor barrier. The goal is to fill the forms efficiently and evenly, ensuring that concrete reaches all corners and edges before it begins to set. This stage requires careful coordination to manage the volume of concrete.
Goal: Fill the formwork with fresh concrete
