Building of New Prince of Wales Hospital (1)

These photos were taken on June 8^th. The trees in the centre of the building site had been cut down and removed.

Those trees bordering the site were preserved.












A protective corridor for pedestrians along the pavement round the site was going to be made.

Cranes moved in and big iron tubes were brought in too. Some of these tubes had been pushed into the ground in upright positions. Machines were inserted to drill and shovel mud up and drop it on the ground near by. Later on, I believe oncrete and steel will then be put inside and when the concrete solidifies, it will form a pile in the ground. This method of making piles does not create much sound. In the past, the sound of piling (using the old method of hitting a pile into the ground foot by foot) was terribly disturbing!.
