That's quite good. Wonder if it's vibrated though

That's an impressive finish!

Can't see readymix drivers in this country being happy (or able!) to do that though. A great job if you own a readymix company and lay a lot of roads though.

A great idea. No rebar? Would they be using fibre? Also amazed that the edges don't seem to sag.

It'll be a 30-40 slump concrete so that it doesn't slump

I've seen similar in operation before, but it was a self propelled unit & it was possible to do longer continuous runs by having the readymix pumping into the hopper whilst moving forward. The hopper was on damped fittings to prevent the vibe unit from pre-settling the mix. I seem to recall that there was also the option for either a float or stippled finish.

Would it run out and go that smooth at 40 slump, didnt seem to have any vibration, maybe the weight of the load pressurises it out

Either a brush, a tight pan finish or a light tamp

light tamp after the easy screed sounds the job

I hear a patterned roller it pretty good too!

What would you use to fill an expansion joint between silo floor and yard @RWG Contracts ? Only about 40 feet to do

Boss seems to think some kind of bitumen stuff that comes in a bucket is better, sounds like hassle to me, is sikaflex expensive?
