Concreting project

Need to concrete a silage pit floor, the back wall is a long way below finished concrete level as it was filled in to bring the level up, the stanchions have been made with hoops on to catch ''U' shaped rebar which will then tie into the mesh as we concrete, so the whole floor is tied into the stanchions. We have concreted sheds in the past but always using shutters in sections, how do I go about doing this job as obviously i think it's going to have to be done as a big pour with all the mesh in place connected to the rebar loops

Local lads have this. Follows the laser, reckon it works to 1mm accuracy.
Trouble is it costs about the price of a small telehandler

He also has a laser controlled dozer blade on a tracked bobcat that can grade the final surface stone accurately to whatever grade and depth of concrete you use
