The outside of the concrete forms measured 2 ft wide, 6 ft deep, and 43 ft 4 in. long. The inside measured 2 ft by 6 ft by 41 ft 10 in. The outside form had been filled to capacity, which was 16 cubic yd of concrete. The inside form had been filled to 10 cubic yd.. Employees #2 and #5 were finishing the concrete in the outside form, working about midway along the inside. Employees #1, #3 and #4 were vibrating the concrete from the inside of the inside form.
