After some uncertainty about the weather (which was windy but much less wet than had been forecast a few days previously) the installation of the concrete floor slabs went ahead as planned.
The concrete pump was all set-up and ready by 07:00 then four lorry-loads of concrete were delivered and laid between 08:30 and 11:30.
The specification called for a power-floated finish so a team from UK Concrete Flooring Specialists Ltd were kept busy finishing the surface until sunset.
All the below-DPC walls are now completed and all the crushed stone has been spread inside the buildings. The recycled stone has also been spread on the outside of the buildings, as a base for the scaffolding and to make for better working conditions in wet weather.
The floor insulation has been delivered but will not be installed just yet; the floor slab concrete is scheduled to be poured one week today (Wednesday 16th April) and there’s not much more preparation required for that so work will now pause until Monday.
