Site Inspection Photos

Nax ;) !

Although its going to be the first time to post some site photos, I've spent quite a great deal of time visting project job sites. I started out when I was in high school, I'd tag along with my dad to fit-out work and when things are much tamer. Now, I get to go into riskier settings with him. We'd tightrope some really narrow walkways and beams spanning gaping holes in the ground. We'd get to go up the slab and beam formwork and watch the "men of steel" ... the magbabakals on site put in the reinforcing ties for the columns, I've seen oatmeal-like batches of concrete being poured into slabs.

Its a risky and fun activity. It just shows that a lot of the stable and beautiful things/structures we see everyday start out as an unstable, disorderly yet orchestrated ballet of men, machines and materials working together to build something.

Its the best way to learn about scale and proportion, and how things go together. And, nothing beats the mounting thrill of watching something you had a hand in designing, come into fruition, with every drop of sweat, grain of sand, bag of cement and bar of steel going into it.
