KINGSTON, Ont.—Graham Construction poured a staggering 22 million pounds of concrete – its largest pour to date – in less than 24 hours as part of a $200 million project to build Canada’s first wet infant formula facility in Kingston.

A time-lapse video captures the entire pour from 7 a.m. to 2 a.m. In the 20-hour period, 4,989 cubic metres of concrete was poured over 100,000 square feet of the job site.
