Total project cost of approx $200 million.
1500 square meters of concrete will be used, equal to around 2300 truckloads.
Westfield contractors empty an average 70 concrete trucks a day during a pour.
Approx 1800 tonnes of structural steel is required to complete the new structures.
This photo shows the progress of the flyover in the background. In the foreground it shows some materials being stored on-site during construction.

Video: Inside the new Westfield Geelong
This photo is an example of some of the components of the new Westfield building. Shown here are pre-cast concrete panels along with a steel frame structure.
This detail photo shows some of the connections between the flyover and the building structure on the east side of Yarra St. The steel beams appear to be bolted (or something similar) to the concrete flooring/roofing.
This image shows an area ready for a concrete pour. It has foam blocks to reduce the amount of concrete required and create a level base for the circular bar-chairs (seen in the photo) that holds up the reinforcement.
Here, you can see the blocks stacked up ready to be put in place within the pour area.
This images shows a plasterboard wall from behind. The plaster is placed onto a metal wall frame. Seen here, are small metal parts that hold each of the plasterboards together where there is no framework.
Here you can see you're average workman doing some work on the construction site (posing for a photo). He wearing a bright yellow/green jumper for safety. He needs to be seen at all times and because it is bright, he won't be missed.
Something that is always seen on a construction site: vacuuming water!!!
You can see here, lots of insulation and the ducts for the environment control system. You can also see the metal wall framing prior to the plaster being applied.

This photo details the electrical wiring that hangs from the ceiling. Shown here, you can see that it sits on metal supports too keep it up off the ground.
