What happens here
Concrete is delivered by a mixer truck and transferred via power buggy to the prepared forms. Workers carefully pour the concrete into the forms, using shovels to spread and level it. One worker discusses the importance of maintaining a consistent 'slump' (consistency) of 5.5 to 6, noting that adding too much water can heat up the concrete and compromise its strength. This process requires quick and precise work to ensure a smooth, even finish before the concrete begins to set. Once poured, the concrete is screeded and finished to create the desired texture for the paver patterns.
Goal: Pour and finish concrete for the custom paver patterns.
