Our PDC is finally starting to look like a building and less like the surface of Mars! Columns are being erected and the first three trusses have been welded in place. It is so much nicer going out to the site now than it was 2 months ago when I first got here. Seeing columns, trusses, docks and the general layout of the PDC take shape is really exciting.
3 trusses up, 57 to go.
The first truss that was erected. This truss took 2 days to erect, the second truss took 2 hours! The guys are getting better and the ceremonial coconut cracking ceremony certainly helped to speed things up!
Who is the handsome American man with all those Bengali construction workers?
Where my office will be on April 5th. It doesn't look like much now, but with some posters of the latest cricket and Bollywood stars it will really take shape.
This is one of the gentleman that welds the trusses to the columns getting all strapped in before heading up 15m to weld.
Although the truss was secured to this enormous boulders, the workers were kind enough to at least appear to be busy during my visit and pull on the rope a little more;-)
Hoisted up 15m in the area there are two men working in a tiny cage welding the truss to the column.
