So between being very busy at school and studying for my professional engineering exam, I haven't done much in the way of countertops. So to keep the blog from getting too stale, here is an interesting post from a job I worked on this summer. Slip and fall is a big concern both on icy pavement and wet pavement, especially kids running around pools. I got a project to develop a pervious concrete mix to put around a pool deck at a Holiday Inn. These pictures are from a test pour done this summer. The test is in the mechanical room so there are way too many pipes under the concrete than recommended.
This was a very special mix. It has a new internal curing admixture which helps flowability and doesn't require curing under plastic. The concrete was brought in by wheelbarrow and finished by hand.
It was knocked down with a 2x4 and finished with a mag float. The pervious has fibers in it so there shouldn't be any issues with cracking.
A nice consistent surface.
There were two placement with different colors. This is a week later after pouring a bottle of water on each. It went through pretty quick.
hey bro, this is a really good project. Im currently in civil engineering techniology at seneca college my self and in my last year working on my technical report and im working on porous concrete. This is a great example for my assignmment and it will be very helpfull if you could send me the data and studies for this project.
