Hi Guys
Over here in the UK, I am about to "plant" 4 towers, and pour C35 Grade
Concrete in the bases. Anyone know what is the setting time for this stuff, and
can it poured in one or two lots ? Getting this amount of concrete onto the
site is not easy. I live up a mountain, with access limited to 4 Wheel Drive
vehicles, and certainly a Truck will be near impossible to get on site, let
alone a Ready Mix Concrete one ! So I may have to mix on site, and pour in
batches.
Comments ?

Subject: [TowerTalk] concrete forms
My son works for a local concrete company and pours thousands of
yards of concrete each week. They do one of two things:
Use disposable forms
Impregnate wood forms with a 50/50 mix of diesel fuel and hydraulic oil
He said they have tried some of the other products but they aren't
worth the cost.
He said to pour w/o forms on the earth as that will give you greatest strength.
