Makes you wonder, doesn't it?

The other scenario is that it is intended to leave the shaft empty until the base is stable enough to put the chalk in, which will be a while, if ever, presumably.

But that begs the question, if its safe not to have polystyrene in there, why did they put polystyrene in there??

I think they're clearing everything out that shouldn't be in there, so they can get an overall picture of what needs doing. Much like when renovating an old house or summat.
Skanska will have done a risk assessment beforehand I should think.
