Foundation Wall (Student Affairs Bldg)

Worker using the concrete washout (or lack thereof) after pouring the concrete foundation walls.  This could be a designated concrete washout pit, but what confuses me is the randomness of washing out next to 3 caisson holes that have been drilled (covered with boards).      

Beginning of foundation wall being formed and poured.  Notice the backhoe in the foreground digging a trench for a water main.    
On the floor plan (artist's rendering) located on VT's website (http://www.pdc.facilities.vt.edu/mediawiki/index.php/File:Acad_Stu_Afrs_Aug_09_Page_2.jpg), the area where they are currently forming up and pouring is the service area of the building and possibly part of the dining and circulation area.   

Storage of rebar that will be hoisted over by crane for the foundation wall (previous picture).


Foundation wall form work and finished pour.
