Slab Preparation on 4/23/09

Gravel and forms were in place on Thursday. Two sections were prepared for a pour on Friday - adult classrooms and the rotunda.

Adult Classroom Slab 4/24/09

This space will be divided by a partition, making two adult classes when closed and fellowship hall overflow space when open.

Finishing Rotunda Slab on 4/24/09

The rotunda will be a transitioning point from our worship center to the educational building. A colored concrete was poured that will be ground to an almost mirror polish. The rest of the area was prepared for a pour scheduled for Monday.

Pouring Concrete on 4/28/09

After a rainy Monday that delayed work, the slab was completed on Tuesday.

Pumping Concrete

Because of muddy conditions, a pumping truck was brought in to expedite the pour. Without moving the truck, it's boom was able to reach the outer limits of the building and complete the pour by late morning.

Riding trowell for finishing concrete

Two riding trowells were used to give a smooth finish. These two skilled finishers intricately guided their machines through the plumbing and column connections.
