Not sure what they have here, but they seem to be putting these cylinders into a wheelbarrow that the crane lifts down to where they are pouring:

Thank you, so has there ever been a case when the poured concrete did not meet the minimal standards?  You'll have to do it all over if that's the case, correct?

 

It happens. Concrete suppliers and tradespeople are no more perfect than anyone else.

 

The fix if specs aren't met is very situational. It doesn't necessarily involve hammering it all out and starting from scratch, though it can.

This is probably one of the most documented concrete pours in Houston history...

 

Looking at the webcam, it seems as though they are covering up the concrete with plywood or dirt...can't really tell since the webcam images aren't as nice as all of yours.

Thats burlap and Plastic.

 

Helps cure it better and regulates temperature at the top so the sun doesnt bake it as much.
