Site Visit - Edgewater Apartments - Geelong waterfront (under construction)

Below are a few shots i took of the 'Edgewater development' early in its construction

Above: The pre-cast panel is set in place and a platform with which to lay the bondeck with is being laid.
Further along the building I was able to find some 'bondek,' recently installed

Above are prime examples of Pre-cast concrete panels, recently craned into place and in the process of being attached

Below are several more shots which i think give a feel for the relatively small amount of space allocated to builders; this, along with inherent budget and time constraints would have been one of the contributing factors to the pre-cast selection



I thought this shot highlighted the inconvenience that having a crane on a small site can cause and hence how important scheduling is, both for keeping costs down and increasing effficiency in construction.
