Jeeze, it looks like CCH building…

That alloy in the bovis office must have plenty of time on his hands to take pictures and send them to workcover and the union! He must be very carefull or he will have all those workers on the site coming up there and having a quiet word with him!

Can’t see anything that looks like a safety violation in the photos, can you? It’s actually interesting to see what’s going on, I had no idea they were doing so much chopping up of the old building. I thought they would just do a refit of the old towers and build a new curved section in the middle but it looks like they’re doing a much bigger job.

Lowering that backhoe into the cavity makes it look like a dinky toy!

Good job boys keep it up!
