The Building of Russo Park at Louisiana

They quit working after the pour or because there's a football game tonight at 7:00 PM?

I'd guess they poured all of the footings and would have to wait for them to cure which may take a couple of days. Helmut?

They will probably wreck the forms tomorrow and move them over to the next section.

They are wrecking forms this morning.

Does concrete of that size cure that quickly?

Its not fully cured but its far enough along to remove forms. Some large concrete pours don't "fully" cure for years.

It's no problem. They just need to be careful around it for a few days. Most curbing and paving is done by "slip form" method. That is with no forms. It is high early strength and close to zero slump. Concrete pipe is made with zero slump concrete. It's all good, believe me.

In other words, no worries........looks good to me. Let's continue with the next pour.

That is correct and that is what they are doing.

They are backfilling between the footings now. They have moved the forms to the right of the camera and will be doing footings in that area. We will not be able to see what they are doing because of the way the camera is set up. The next thing to do directly in front of the camera is the Slab on Grade. This will happen after the finish with the footings to the right of the camera screen. When the finish with the slab on grade I will be able to get an idea of they schedule.
