Under the New College Big Top

Progress continues to be good with the NCV. There have been a number of first in the last week:

* The Big Top was pitched (well it looks like one!).
* The first concrete was poured.
* The first piers were put down.

The movement of soil (more like sand) around the site continues mainly due to a change in the method for drilling the piers an extra metre of sand was taken out to allow pier caps to be constructed then back-filled. As a result a great mountain of sand will need to stay on site for the next 4-5 weeks. This has presented challenges for the contractors but this is the only practical thing to do. In order to control dust Lipman has chosen to cover the mound to spare the neighbours and students waiting for buses on Anzac Parade.
