4th Section of driveway being prepared

Today was the kerb section of the driveway that was prepared, including the industrial-grade galvanized pipes connecting the storm-water pit/chamber to the kerb guttering. Our hydraulic engineer specified these based on the brief to him that we will have heavy vehicles going up and down that driveway during the house build. Normally there would be PVC storm-water piping installed.
We've also been lucky with the weather, the driest spell they have had for a supposedly wet season.

Footing steel installed and a much needed arrival

Toe footing steel RW2 section was installed, excess dirt and rocks were taken away and the toilet arrived on site (very good news)

Final Section Concrete Pour

It's been a long time coming, but we finally made it to the last concrete pour of this driveway. The last section took 16 cubic metres of concrete and we proved today that a concrete truck with 5 cubic metres of concrete can reverse up the driveway with no trouble at all. This says a lot about the strength and planning of such a driveway given the slope. It also has greater meaning for the house build - all footings and slabs will have easy access for the trucks in the future! Pete, Will and Clynton were on board today to finish the final section, which looks great - well done guys.
