Absolutely SLABulous!

Описание: Ep26: Things are about to get ABSOLUTELY SLABulous! Get ready for a monumental three-day concrete pouring marathon in this episode, all focused on the floor of our 1000sq m warehouse, the future logistics hub.

To tackle this, the Build It Right team brings in the local experts, Wright Mix (@wrightmix8506 on YouTube). With a constant convoy of five concrete mixers and their own concrete pumps, it's a non-stop mission to get all 240 cubic meters of Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) into position.

But a hot slab is a brittle slab! We learn all about concrete curing and the crucial importance of keeping the concrete cool. Watch as the Wright Mix crew adds a professional finish with dappling and a special wax curing agent. A true test of endurance comes at night, as Evan and Oli visit the site to water the concrete floor, only to find it's become a humid sauna to work in—over 15 degrees Celsius warmer than outside!

To ensure this massive concrete slab doesn't crack in all the wrong places, we hire in Jamie from UK Diamond Drilling to add the critical crack inducing cuts.

Join us for this challenging and enlightening episode! What's the biggest concrete pour you’ve ever had to keep cool? Let us know in the comments below! 👇
