Concrete spec.

[Lawless]

What spec concrete should one be using for an external farm yard that has a lot of HGV activity on it?
PAV2 / RC50 ?

 

[Lawless]

Should add you can assume that the base will be solid and it will be laid with mesh, plastic membrane and at 200mm thick.

Would also be interested in any recent prices anyone has had for cost of laying. - how much per square meter to come set up forms, pour concrete, laying plastic and mesh as pouring and pan finish plus cut and mastic joints after. Large areas preferable.

PAV contains air entraining additive which protects against surface spalling damage from frost & de iceing salt.
Concrete suppliers will advise on best spec

We would charge To supply and lay. Shutter and grade, ( stone extra) , plastic, a252 on wire chairs, pump, 200mm PAV2, pan finish, cut and seal joints £40m2

Try to do concrete now or September as the temparature is good for curing. Hot summers are a no no as folk forget to stand by the work to spray with water irrespective of the specs! I still remember High Alumina. Fab for what it was intended but folk forgot to give it love in the curing.....ie copious amounts of cooling water.....

Many square meters have you too lay

Is RC spec not designed for steel mesh, whereas PAV less so?

@RWG Contracts is the man when it comes to concrete.


Where are you @Lawless?

Similar to what we paid a couple of years ago to do 900m2. Used PAV2 over a252 mesh, 8 inches of stone, 8 inches of concrete. We bought the supplies etc, paid for the all the labour to do the work which was £10K

We always lay pav2 outside and either RC35 or 45 inside

I assume Connops are on your list then?

 

[Lawless]

Yes.
Have you used them?

 

[Steevo]

Have you used them?

Yes, they did my 15000sq.ft almost exactly this time last year.
