RDV Contracting owner, Robbie Vernelson, monitors progress. RDV's crew consists of nine to 10 workers.
Jeff Philips of InFocus Design Studios shoots some footage of the pour. It could be pointed out here that he seemed to be wondering, "What's the big deal?" concerning pour day. That's a great question. When you have a crew and a pour team (including the concrete supplier and the pump truck operator) that know what they are doing and have a good working relationship on site, pour day is indeed quite uneventful. So, while the film may not be that exciting, that's precisely the point. We've dispelled some pretty big rumors and assumptions about ICFs as a result. In fact, the project engineer's inspector and assistant superintendent, were catching up on something clearly other than the pour down on the ground while the pour was taking place two stories up. On the first pour, the inspector was there every step of the way...up on the scaffolding, right by the hose!
One more partial story (7' plus) of ICF on this wing. The roof system will extend from that point and include 10' dormer windows.
The "core" of the building, parallel to the concrete truck here, will rise two more stories.
