Despite the blistering heat, workers are still toiling away to ensure the construction project is on schedule for completion by the end of 2020.
Since the heat wave began in mid-May, workers have been working under extreme weather conditions with many days recording mercury readings of 40C and above. Temperatures on the concrete surface are even higher, up to 50C.
