There are two ways of digging, first with a gentle bank when a lot of space is available, but with steep sides for more rapid excavation and limited space.
Steel reinforcement bars

Steel scaffolding system - galvanised. Very cleaver joints to avoid bolting things together.
Notice the steel moulds into which the concrete is cast after placing a framework of reinforcing steel bars.

Scaffolding in action
Sung Mo and Hae-Geon Lee explaining where we are - this I think is the location of Harry's office.
Notice the clever joints in the scaffolding system, avoiding bolting.
The transmission electron microscope facility has independent foundatiosn (notice the gap with the main structure).
Steel everywhere.
The key person with the vision of where everything will go in an ergonomically sound manner.
Very clever joining techniques. Here the moulds used for casting concrete are supported by the scaffolding
Even the mould walls have a pin-type joining method.
Antenna for wireless internet, built into the walls. (not)
This is another view of the structures holding the opposite walls apart while a deep hole is excavated.
