This post will discuss area and how it applies to concreting. It will also explain how to calculate the area of different shapes which can be applied practically when working. Area and Concreting Almost everything in concreting is to do with area. We construct, or lay, "areas of concrete". A concrete slab is an area where concrete is laid. Many of the materials we use to construct concrete areas will be calculated or thought about in terms of area....

Recently I've gotten a couple of emails sent to me by what looks like legit customers or businesses. The first one I got, I kind of had this weird vibe from the email, just from a couple of the words in it. I looked up the business name online and it was indeed a legit, local business from my area so I sent a reply saying to send some plans through and I could continue from there. [ 1,037 more word ]

In this post I'm going to share some formulas I have worked out for calculating amounts of materials. This post is long and has lots of maths, but it is useful if you are pricing a job off a plan or if you want to create a spreadsheet that calculates all of this stuff for you automatically.

One for the concreters out there that might need to fix up the kill switch wiring on their trowel machine. So I think how this works is that we introduce a ground connection to the wire line that goes to the coil pack. The red kill switch connects the ground mounted wire (above the red switch) to the wiring that is connected to the wire that goes to the coil pack, indicated with green arrows. [ 91 more words ]

This week we poured and finished a caravan pad at Reedy Creek. The showery weather last week forced us to postpone this pour until today, but it was a good call. The weather was fantastic — perfect for concreting. Although it was a late pour, we had accelerator added to the concrete and it got the job done in 4 hours flat. [ 43 more words ]
