Foundation



So here we are pouring the foundation a couple of days ago. On all our slabs we use stress cables. So running throughout the foundation are these long red plastic tubes that encase the stress cables. They are then attached to one side of the foundation. After the slab dries for 8 days they come and tighten the cables to 8000 PSI. Well we also use pump trucks to pump the concrete to all the sites. It is pretty cool. The black guy in the picture is controlling the pump hose with this remote control thing. Kinda like a toy race car or something.
