The first of seven concrete pours on the roof slab of SRP’s process building got underway last week as it progresses towards being fully weathertight, a project wide objective the team is expected to achieve in the coming months.
Around 350 cubic metres of concrete was poured at a rate of 35 cubic metres per hour, pumped up to a height of 30 metres after being delivered using five concrete wagons, in rotation, from our on-site batching plant.
The placing, compacting, and screeding of the concrete was led by a team of 11 people with support from engineers, marshals and technicians.
Construction Manager Gerry Coan said: “The start of the roof slab concrete pour would not have been possible without the efforts of a whole team of people, which includes our steel-fixers, joiners, marshals, plant and crane operatives, and all the engineering, safety and quality support teams. Well done to all involved.
“If all goes to plan, and weather permitting, the final roof pour will happen at the end of April.”
