Take 16,000 m3 of concrete for 2 nights, really?
United Arab Emirates as always beat all records not only the height and number of skyscrapers in the world, but also for the construction and timing. In August 2007, in Abu Dhabi, has been made the largest continuous casting of SCC. The volume of concrete = 16 000 m3!
Some figures:
- To produce this amount of concrete needed 70,000 liters plasticizer 1340 m3 of water, and (considering the weather conditions) 1,100 tons of ice!
- Fill lasted for almost 2 days, the concrete supply is the company with 5 factories Unibeton total capacity of 400 m3 / hour;
- The casting involved 650 people serving but not limited to 100 concrete mixers, 8 and 9 stationary concrete pumps (almost all - boom length 54 meters).
It would be interesting to calculate how much each worker could earn in these two days, working on a piece-rate pay ???
