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.
