  • Concrete typically has more water than it needs for the reaction, to aid placement.
    The ground you are laying the concrete onto will act as a heat sink.
    Thick slab with vibrating pole, or just relying upon gravity and tamping.
    You might find a bit more time spent ensuring the upper surface is well tamped will reduce the likelihood of unwanted cracking.

  • Cheers. Was going to get advice from the driver as well, they are pretty helpful normally. I was thinking of spraying the area down before I pour, to make sure the underlying ground doesn't suck the water straight out of the concrete?

  • 4 inch slab?
    No dimension greater than 6m?
    A damp (no ponding) surface will do little harm.
    Is the slab for use with your heavy farm machinery, or lighter use?
