Video views of the final Big Pour

The future skyline of Loma Linda University Health when the new hospital complex is completed

A milestone in the construction of Loma Linda University Health’s new hospital complex was reached Sunday, May 21, when workers finished the final concrete pour — the third of three — for the foundation.

The two videos below show different experiences of the overnight event, which began Saturday night, May 20.

The first video chronicles close-up scenes of the concrete-pouring process, including the end product shining in the sun.

It also includes fun facts that give an idea of just how much concrete it took to build the four-foot-thick foundation. What does 16,750 cubic yards equate to? Find out by watching.

The second video allows viewers to rotate the camera view 360°, offering a sense of the whole scene. (Make sure you are using a supported browser for this experience.)

The new hospital building will open in 2020.
