Ground bearing slab curing

[Mr Punter]

Your biggest challenge will be to get the concrete in the right place, as once it is poured you won't be moving it.  If you can get the lorry near all the trenches, fantastic.  If not you would do well with a concrete pump - either boom or line type.  You will need minimum 3, preferably 4 people, plus the pump guy and concrete truck driver.

 

Work out exactly what you are doing before anything turns up.  How will the concrete lorries get in and out, traffic management etc.  6m is very wide to screed to.  Can you get some pegs in the ground as levels?

 

If there is a screed layer on top, the accuracy of the slab doesn't matter too much.

We don't know much about it at all!

The questions are not answered and I fear that the author doesn't know how much he doesn't know.

It is out of concern that I keep trying to help. 

@flanagaj please explain what the construction of the floor is and what stage you are planning.

Apologies for the confusion.   I am merely talking about the ground bearing slabs and it has nothing to do with pouring the screed layer.

The slabs are basic.  150mm thick reinforced with A252 mesh and all prep work signed off by BC last Friday.  Slabs for house will eventually be covered with 150mm PIR, VCL and then screed.  Garage slab will be left as is and hoping that SCC will provide an adequate finish and negate having to use another finishing self levelling compound.  So just to reiterate and avoid confusion, this is simply about placing the concrete for the ground bearing reinforced slabs.
