South Eastern Section, looking south: Concrete has just been poured in the
southern and central parts of the eastern section. The fan-looking units
at the top of the picture are used for smoothing the freshly-poured concrete.

the south toward the north. While concrete is poured in one area, workers
work it into the beams and floor areas.
