General contractor Moss & Associates completed a 24-hour continuous concrete pour for the foundation of Brickell Flatiron, paving the way for vertical construction of the 64-story condominium in Miami’s Brickell financial district.

Moss & Associates orchestrated the 24-hour pour with nearly 150 mixing trucks that carried more than 50 million pounds of concrete to am excavated hole at the project site, 1001 South Miami Avenue.

The pour, which ended around 10 p.m. Saturday, created the condo tower’s concrete pad atop 700 steel pilings, each dug 100 feet deep.
