Week 10 (15-19 Dec 14) Slab Cure, First Cut polish

After the slab was poured, it needed to cure for one week before the concrete polishers could do the first cut.  The process took three days and produced approximately 2 tons of concrete dust, of a similar consistency to flour.

We are using Revolution Concrete Polishing (http://www.revolutioncgp.com.au/)


The construction joint between the two slabs is designed to allow movement between the two slabs.  It is working as designed with a difference of approximately 3mm between morning and afternoon. The gap is visible as a dark line directly below the coin.


With the run up to Christmas the country is slowing down for a two week break.  As such work is grinding to a halt on site.  We were able to get the slab down for the garden shed and 45,000 litre water tank at the back of the block.
