Week 24, 2026 – The pile field takes shape

8–11 June 2026

The soil is cleared and the full grid of foundation piles is exposed. A blue wellpoint pump keeps the groundwater down, with hoses running between the rows.

Later in the week two excavators work the pit at once while a crew crops the pile heads down to foundation level; a worker is visible among the piles.
