13 August - Concrete Slabs

Concrete poured and levelled by 10am

Power floating early afternoon

Finished slabs

Severn Tunnel Junction at 6.30pm - Fortunately the rain stayed over the Welsh border all day

Nearly ready to pour (concrete) 9.8.13

Surrounded by Geoff the groundworker's very neat crochet work with reinforcement.

If they made transparent concrete I would specify it!

I am nearly smiling because we are nearly out of the ground without much rain or discovering a mine shaft, fingers crossed for a fine day on Tuesday when slabs are powerfloated.

The cantilever slab with supporting trench footing to the left - designed to avoid imposing loads on the party wall footings. Incoming mains water duct in blue and outgoing soil pipe.

Depression for the matwell
