    Oh for crying out loud - like everyone on OKC Talk board would get the info I did and go "hey, I know you're with the contractor, but the term to use is place and not pour." I will be the first to admit that I'm not immune to making mistakes - especially in this day and age of instant news, multimedia and fewer bodies in the newsroom. But good lord, do some of you ever listen to yourselves?
    Ok Cliff, it's a continuous placing of the foundation.....

    Nobody is yanking your chain...pouring v. placing is a joke among engineers.

    Chill.

    Oh yeah, I'm with you. I've never heard anybody ever say place concrete. It just gets joked about.

    Anyone know why they are jackhammering out one of the piers on the north side of the main foundation?

    The pictures are indeed quite spectacular, King. Thanks also for the FLICKR link--more good ones there as well. Your photographic skills are excellent.

    blockouts. places they don't want the concrete to go.

    and "placing" concrete is typically used by engineers/architects/estimators. anyone on a jobsite says "pouring" concrete, but it's not unheard of to say that you're "placing" it.

    a little more clarification: it looks like the wall will be as thick as the boxes. they'll set another form and pour the wall. the box will create a hole in the wall so that they can run things through them (power/data/plumbing/whatever....)

    just my educated guess.

    Well.. typically us guys in the field say pour. It's kinda like this.. when the engineers/architects/estimators Screw up it's called an "oversite" but when the "field screws up" it's called a "screw up" (being polite in language)
    I have been in every aspect of the construction industry for 40 years. (Wow, I have had a lot of "oversites" in my life.)
