Here we see the very first bucket being pulled! The work proceeded well until we reached the side drains, which took some pulling out by conventional means.
On Monday we see the the drain extraction in progress:-
On Tuesday the concrete was poured and the rebars inserted.

| Job done! |

| The end in sight! (Steve, Ken and Clive) |

| 4 metres going on to the end of Platform 1 Roger and Bob bricklaying and Paul who got the medal of the day for keeping both teams going with muck! Finally we recycled the concrete extracted from the old 1A foundations. Here Steve loads the wagon with the old granite concrete and as if by magic we have 40 tons of 75mm chippings.  These ended up not being a suitable quality for the gabions but will do nicely for the infill of Platform 1A. Here is young Steve Warren at the end of three very successful days.  |
