The purpose of spreading fresh concrete is to place concrete as close as possible to finish level to facilitate straightedging/screeding the concrete. Short handled, square ended shovels are recommended for spreading concrete. A come-along (a tool that looks like a hoe and has a long straight ...

At the base of the dam is this delightful Pumping House. The motorway, which was dependent on the completion of the dam, was opened to traffic on 20th December 1970 and officially opened by Queen Elizabeth II who unveiled a plaque near the valve tower of Scammonden Water on 14 October 19...
Mudjacking involves pumping a slurry of concrete and other materials under the slab for leveling purposes. Erosion and tree roots are frequent culprits behind this problem. Leveling costs include lifting the slab and putting gravel underneath the driveway. Repairing Concrete Driveway Potholes The ...
Therefore, in practice, very high thixotropic material will be used in 3DCP applications (i.e., if no accelerators are added near to the nozzle head). In the pumping and extrusion stages, higher shear rates will be applied due to higher pumping pressures, higher velocities inside the hose ...
Slabs can be raised back to their original position by pumping a mixture of sand, cement, fly ash, and other additives beneath the slab—a process called slabjacking. See this overview ofhow slabjacking can fix a sunken concrete driveway. ...
In the evenings, Mama would drive us to the job so we could watch the pour. It was like watching magic, all the lights twinkling, seeing men running the wheelbarrows (buggies) full of concrete and the men pumping by hand the jacks as the wooden, rounded slip-forms edged up. I was ...
