A 3-foot-deep foundation slab has been poured for the Heber Valley Utah Temple, providing the substantial mass needed to counteract buoyant forces from the site’s high water table and to help minimize the risk of settling or cracking. Crews recently poured and leveled the west half of the slab where the fresh concrete is still visible. With the foundation nearing completion, the project is poised to transition into the structural phase.

Landscaping on the grounds of the Querétaro Mexico Temple is taking shape as crews prepare planting areas and establish rows of palm trees.
