Concreting Strip Foundations - How Long Does It Take ?

[redgriff500]

I want to pour approx 500mm deep concrete in 75 linear metres of 0.6m wide foundations.

The layout is a rectangle with 2 bays and 2 dividing walls front to back and side to side.

The inspector will hopefully pass them today at 10.30am.

Is it realistic that 2 men can get approx 22m3 in and level starting at 11am in a day ?

Both of us have done similar before BUT many years ago and we weren't in charge then.

Cheers

How big are the concrete wagons? Presuming 6 or 8m^3 that's only 3 or 4 loads, shouldn't be an problem to get it laid. Presume you've ordered them to arrive in quick succession?

6m3 loads.

I daren't order until the founds are passed.

Don't forget the clocks go back soon. I think one short day will be pushing it. Maybe get it pumped in to save time on spreading?

Should anyone need to know in the future...

It was a fairly easy.

I ended up using 33m3 placing it approx 600mm deep and 3 of us did it 8.30 - 4.30

Unfortunately we only had one waggon of turn around (just over an hour) and ideally we could have done with the first 3 almost simultaneously.
