28 days is the official time I thought - when the concrete has reached 90% of its design level.

Something tells me Rob's customers probably only called him to do the job 28 days before they started silaging.

Reaches 70% of it's strength after 7 days and 90% after 28. But you try getting people not to drive on it for 28 days. It isn't going to happen

Anybody know how much shutters are to hire, got 85m of 2ft wall including 2 corners (silage pit) to do in the next fortnight.

Tried to get a rough guide from peri and A plant but they want an application for a credit account before quoting ffs.

A couple of years ago a plant was about £1000 for 60'ish (both sides) of 1m high panels. If only 2' high wouldn't be too bad to do with timber?

Try a firm called Harsco. Only problem is it's a two week minimum hire

 

[AndrewG]

Cheers Tom, so that's £50 a square meter, I had a feeling their price might be something like that, making some shutters is an option just tight for time, as usual!

 

[SJM]

Can anyone recommend a shuttering contractor in the midlands please?

 

[concrete agri]

Wat is it yr doing??
wats the sizes

 

[meekers]

@AndrewG Marvin Maxwell still has a lot of shutters in the station yard, he may be worth a try for hiring.

 

[chaffcutter]

@SJM we have used RMD Kwikform, Aldridge nr Walsall 01922-743-743
Very good quality but as usual, not cheap!

 

[AndrewG]

Decided to just make some, got a few panels made at the weekend, got enough for 96 ft of wall now.
