Concrete pump.

Concrete pump with a long reach
transfers concrete to the floor of the temple.

The floor was scheduled to be poured on Thursday, 29 April 1999. The forecast, however, was an 80% chance of precipitation. But Thursday morning there was no rain, little bits of blue sky, and even the sun shone through at times--but not too hot. Perfect pouring weather!

Once the floor has set, the walls and interior steel columns will be erected.
