To concrete the sides the team will need to use this 'shutter', which is a temporary support to hold the wet concrete in place until it hardens and sets. If this wasn't used the concrete wouldn't set in the right shape, but also wouldn't have the strength it needs. | Portsmouth City Council Photo: Portsmouth City Council
