Concrete pump operator places the concrete into these bridge column forms, the concretor vibrates while the formwork carpenter stands by to secure the Bearer Pad Template.

Pumping Concrete into Bridge Column Formwork

Once the concrete is pumped almost to the top, a formwork carpenter secures the Bearer Pad Template on top of the column forms. The concrete is then topped up.

Due to space restrictions, the Bearer Pad Template was made strong enough to stand on so that the concretors could hand-trowel the entire surface without stepping on the concrete.
