Bridge building

     They are building a new expressway through Ōtaki. They are building six new bridges and moving the railway line. Our school visited the construction site. We asked the engineers questions. This is my question and their answer .

How much concrete did you use?

We will use 12,000m3 of concrete over the whole project.

Image result for what does 12,000 cubic metres of concrete look like?  
Each of these huge containers hold 1000 cubic metres of concrete. You would need 12 of these huge containers to put 12000m3  of concrete in.
