Concrete plant opened in Hargeisa City

Hargeisa City 2019

Long awaited concrete plant is opened in south west region of Hargeisa City.

 Previously the concrete is delivered by buckets and lifting motorised machinery which was taking wall day, and sometime 2 days to concrete a typical floor slab of 150mm with beams etc.  Our client decided to use concrete company called Kaabsan to deliver concrete to the site, this was a leap forwards for construction industry of Hargeisa City.

 I turned 7:00am on site the concrete pump was already stationed and prepared to receive concrete from trucks, this was a very exciting moment in this project, all the worker where very excited and awaited the concrete to arrive.

 Finally, first concrete truck arrived 10 minutes late, I conducted a concrete test before any concrete is delivered to the columns, the test was successful and I authorised the concrete to be poured onto the columns.  

We all watched very interestingly how the concrete pump delivered concrete mix, we learned very quickly that you need to keep away from the pump when moving from one column to another due to the pump still pumping and can shower you with cement mix.

 Within 2 hours of the start pumping the concrete 95% of the columns where completed, this operation would take whole day and would finish 17:00pm.

 The building is 4 story with basement floor, shops on the ground floor and hotel on upper floors, and we used concreting whole building with truck and pump delivery, this helped as to completed the building in record time.
