[00:00:00]Hello everybody. Welcome back to my YouTube channel. I welcome you all. Why is it looking like uh it's up to 1 month that we have interacted here? They feel like saying one month. I be only me feel this way. Anyways, anyways, anyways, welcome back. Welcome back, guys.

[00:00:21]Something is missing. What never click?

[00:00:23]Oh, our music. Play it.

[00:00:29]Yeah. So, so when you hear that song, you know, say George, don't come again.

[00:00:32]So, today we're starting from here. I'm trying to show us how much they've gone in trying to compact. I think this should be the front of the departure, you know, terminal for the new terminal one. This is going to be the front. So, um they are trying to compact the edges, you know, say big, uh ruler work for this side. This this my my right side. So all these edges where way big roll I don't feel reach where all this kind this one this this one right here this one uh ah wait greater that one grader this one I not going to lie you I don't know this one name hold on I don't know this one name but where I'm going is that this big roller the thing go show now there's this big roller roller machine this one you No feet work for that edge you get. So the smaller one I need to use for that way. Yeah. So um I'm showing us the level of compaction that has been done. That was what you saw in the previous slide. And now you know work is continuing. What is going on?

[00:02:00]In the previous videos, we've been seeing we've been noticing how they've been trying to create foundations for the expansion. Making sure that the structure we will remain after the demolition of the old one would be strong enough to accommodate the expansion. have been showing us how they've been working on the ground, you know, creating strip foundations that would uh distribute load. You understand? We go carry columns. We go make everywhere deal you get I've been showing us. So today is like a a progress, you know, like showing us the progress of all those things. So just no worry, no no rush. Just sit back, relax.

[00:02:51]If not coffee they drink. If not tea they drink just you know chill.

[00:03:03]Okay. Yeah. I wanted to you know try to know how much of um how much tipper of lite they use for this this uh back filling. But I said don't I don't sit down there. You don't enter like like one hour I say you know be your eye for this project. So if now you did there you know want sit down wait you want go show me another thing you get.

[00:03:31]So yeah let's go into um sites to see you know like construction tour you get. So let's just check different departments and see what everybody's doing. You realizing that the previous HVAC or cooling system be that one they come out like that. So here I was trying to let us know that as column did that way colum did this way too and elit underground you understand foundation that's true foundation where you see where I show you before there's there's a there's a there's an extending column where they go do for there we go join to this one we come go up again you understand so the work the work go far this one is a standalone part foundation that I showed us that they were going to do something on last week yeah I think I showed us. So, like I was saying, they're pulling down the previous cooling system. I think this is um the previous um cooling system. This should be Yeah. Yeah. This is it if I'm not mistaken. So, they don't commute everything. And you know, as as reconstruction is going on, the demolition is still going on. You know, they cannot stop one for one. They are working hand in hand. You understand? So here um I showed us the when they were doing some evacuation here and uh um what do they call this thing? When they were using ah what that machine they use now this one escavator excavation I want talk about evacuation. So that side guys go back that side though. Wait.

[00:05:05]Yes. So we are back here. You can see the each each column has its own will have its own path foundation and I'll be showing us because I actually waited till they finished casting. So I'll be showing us the part foundations of each one.

[00:05:24]If you take note in our previous episode, this particular area was a heap of uh what would we call it now? Demolished materials like it go far gone. But now we see it has been leveled and work is still going on trying to evacuate you know the unwanted rubbish. No more those guys up there. Let's go and say hi to them because I know say if now you won't go there. You won't see what they sub for there. Yeah, I mean these guys going up there now and see what they are doing and uh say hello. We'll just say hello and then we'll go to another department you know to check what is happen. Okay.

[00:06:09]Hello guys. How are you doing? Yeah, that's them working there trying to you know. Oh, hello. Bye-bye.

[00:06:23]Okay, so work doesn't stop here. Work not to stop for this way. Can see them putting out their solar panels so that they can you know have a source of electricity when everywhere go dark.

[00:06:35]That's apart from the normal generator they put on SH. So now some people some persons were asking if work was going on inside. Somebody asked if uh you know if it's just outside they're working on if they never start work inside obviously we can see that uh work is going on inside they don't start the work inside people are already inside and now small small but you know see why it's looking like you know this is because now every week you see updates you get so say shade they change like the sh change but lot of work is happening Yeah, a lot of work is happening here. Sometimes me say I just tire to film. I just did cuz it's actually a lot of work.

[00:07:24]You remember when I was trying to give an analogy of um them doing a foundation on a foundation for an extension of the columns. You see how far they've come.

[00:07:35]Now this was when we mentioned that um there's this for rock GP that they use.

[00:07:42]So you see they don't I say they extend on 25 go up you remember now. So this is it. This is it. This is standing tall.

[00:07:52]Standing tall right here. And after I don't do this video which I'll show us in my next episode. They don't cast about two about nine columns. Nine columns have been cast already because on this day they were trying to do some formwork and all of that. So from that day until now you watch video about 9 to 10 columns that have been cast. You understand? So you'll be seeing that in my next episode. Shit. I just found a little bit of interest in this. I don't know the name but I just make I just show us fine. I like the color red.

[00:08:33]Anything you want to buy for me, make sure it comes in red color. So you get I don't know. I'm not saying somebody wants to buy something for people. If you want to buy something for me, make sure it's in red.

[00:08:44]Yeah. So work is going on, guys. Work is going and I'm excited. Work is going on.

[00:08:55]See, I'm not makes sense.

[00:09:01]And guys, I sing I actually sing. I just dropped the song. The title of the song is I and I am. I And I am. You already know my name. George Fing Sunday. I don't know where you listen to your music. Apple, Spotify, Boom Play, Audio Mac. Just type my name there and check for am. You go see. Listen, I promise you it's not a waste of data.

[00:09:26]M it's not a waste of data. Listen to it and let me know let me know let me know what you think about it. So some persons were asking for updates on this side of the construction you know stuff. They saying um they want to see what is happening at that side of um the terminal too. So here you see they're already doing the formworks of the columns that would, you know, take the bridge round to the new terminal one.

[00:09:59]I'm still going to climb on the one they cast last week to show us how the team be. I could try give us aerial view. So you understand? So yeah, let's go back there. Let's go back there. Let's go back there.

[00:11:23]So I'm right on top. I'm right on top.

[00:11:27]This particular place is where would connect to that other side. You can see the columns of those ones that they working on from that angle. So it go connect and this top will connect to that one. There will be a road one road on top where it go link us to the other bridge where come down you understand and then where we are coming from that China first floor column. Now that place go lead us into terminal one.

[00:12:01]That will be our new entrance into terminal one. M. Yes, that's how it will be.

[00:12:09]If it don't be like that, you will still see him. But I think that's how it will be. I think so.

[00:12:16]This place will lead us to our terminal one. Not that one anymore. By the time it's done, you see the back film.

[00:12:29]Yeah. But if he doesn't go that way, if no be so, we could still see This is showing that there will be a kind of structure on this edge. You see the boat don't say it will just fix but we can see I'm sure we can see as it could be. Yeah. So this is this is the view. This is another view. So that was that top is where I climbed. I climbed that that uppermost part. So, and that's uh other part is where I said we'll link. So, yeah, this is uh a pie cap. This is a pre-cast beam is readily available once the column done strong or you don't reach how many days they won't make it like this. Now, installation straight.

[00:13:52]So the last time I climbed a ladder, but now lad again lad.

[00:14:02]This one is a kind of um you know more safety cautious I don't know the name ladder that we're going to use to go up to check the uh the bean the col the column we go see what they or up we see as they work you know I told us they cannot just leave it the way they put it now so we don't almost reach So boom. So let's go and see what they doing. Okay. So you see they try connect those ion you understand say each beam get all those iron they want well down together.

[00:14:46]Once they get together together they come they come bam they will put formwork come down with concrete. So that thing will come it will be like the link you will join will strong. My god something like this you understand. So they come pour concrete inside this. Oh my god, this thing don't make sense. So this one go hold down together everywhere go good before they come after this one. Now I don't know what they come do on top but say don't know if he climb like this they still do something on top on this day rain they fall rain they fall rain started that day even some viewers were going back to where they were working you know rain just started here these guys are trying to see if they can still continue work this uh they were casting some of the columns at the first floor on that day and then as I see say see workers still day where they walk once once even you can even see that this operator this pump truck oper operator was trying to protect his uh his equipment from the rain while walking I just I just g say make me safe I just They go see you understand even so cover that small ruler but at the end of the day the rain was not much. It just drizzled and you know Later on that day, the rain stopped. The consultants were on site for inspection.

[00:16:39]Arup A R U P. They're on site and I just just corner just one corner. Sh just let my people see. So, Arab was right there, you know, checking the walk and, you know, Yeah.

[00:17:18]As they inspect, my people said go inspect online. Make sure you get my people. Ah, I love my people. They go inspect online. So, just had to go back check for some other stuffs that have been done.

[00:17:34]The part foundation and they still smooth all these things you get. So, they just cast this one finish. This one they never cast them at all. So, now they form up with this, you know. Let's see how they did what they did before they got where they got. Maybe wait for this way maybe to the answer. We will see everything as a be don't worry after this project everywhere don't set I go another project go see show you everything go as be they do you go know so this is you know them trying to use a mobile crane to pour concrete into that um connecting stuff that I showed us when I climbed the gather beams. Here you get. So this one now that coveret now that underground that coveret this will lead you into the underground. So I just did check now to show you guys as it be the cast make the team form where I be no form. So this is the underground I showed us in the beginning of the video at the introduction this you know the strip foundation you know see now from back back they don't start see you get so long way so all these ones they don't do before and from what we see is actually looking solid yeah it's looking solid mhm bro yo you've watched 19 minutes already 19 minutes without in fact I hope you didn't skip the ads.
