We worked in this site today, rounding things off.

This is our use of concrete biscuit, watch the way it lifts the mat, protecting the pipes underneath.........

We are already casting this deck, using latest tools..........

The thickness is the recommended 150 mm. We need to be spraying water on this decking in the next few days. The water aids the concrete curing process, which prevents cranking.

Decking cast completed. Pictures later.

All done, we await the next stage...........

Whao. From the pictures I can see blocks of eigth flats all over the neighborhood. Interesting

They are the recommended sizes for the job, according to the building plan structural specifications. We don't just select what we like. In building, the approved building plan should be considered and all the notations by the professionals accurately implemented.

So aside a building plan one needs a structural plan?
