Grout Cube Mold Box on Hefei Construction Deck

Steel grout cube mold boxes rest on the wet concrete surface of an active construction deck near Hefei. Late autumn rain creates a thin sheen across the gray slabs, reflecting the flat, diffused light of a noon sun shower. Converging lines of rebar and formwork stretch toward a distant vanishing point, showing the site's operational layout. The metal surfaces show signs of recent use with faint rust streaks and grease marks. Temporary service cables snake along the edge of the deck, coiled in loose loops beside the molds. The heavy steel edges catch the soft overcast glow, against the dark, wet concrete beneath. one drop of water rests on the corner of a mold, slowly elongating before falling.
