Concrete pour

The pump was booked for 6.30am and the first truck load of concrete at 7.00am. Our concreting team Ollie French and his daughter Robyn and crew were on site and ready before the first truck. Ollie had spent the previous afternoon helping us get the finishing touches on the pre pour, and we passed inspection in the afternoon.

With the pump set up, the concrete was poured into the middle level slab first, then the upper level. We put a total of 50m3 of concrete into the slabs, and all was in place by 12.30.

The concreters worked behind the pour, screeding to a rough level, then to a finished level. Ollie troweled off the surfaces with the helicopter and Robyn finished off in the tight corners etc.

 The concrete pump beats pushing barrows of concrete around.
