Rhinoceros completed the pour of C50 concrete to form a re-inforced beam around the entrance to exit 5 of the pedestrian subways at Monument station today. The 14 metre re-inforced concrete beam has been designed by Jacobs engineers to minimise the consequences of a vehicle impact. Two such incidents have occurred at this spot in the last few years. The beam will be finished with a terrazzo type granolithic material which will be a close match to the original granite plinth. A new spheroidal steel parapet is being manufactured which will replicate the original bronze parapet installed in 1935.
