still leaking!
I can not seem to get this spot to keep the water out. When I test with the hose we are dry, but the last rain storm showed us that we still have work to do...very frustrating! #)($@%*^^$#@
The arch has all the cement on it now. We are now waiting for the color coat. Putting the cement plaster up overhead was every bit as troublesome as I feared. That was NOT a fun job!

My concrete people sloped the concrete away in the front but the sides were done poorly and slope into the middle. So to fix this water problems we etched this sunburst in the floor. Surprise of surprise it works. Now the water drains away.

After the Millennium Development Goals, the 150+ members of United Nations crafted a new 15-year agenda that fight social injustice, poverty, and climate change called as the Sustainable Development Goals. There are 17 goals tackling economic progress, education upgrade, social fairness, and environmental protection.

With its prominent site at the head of the fast flowing River Calder, the Hepworth Gallery pushes the tolerances of architectural design. To protect against the external environment, including cold transfer from the river, and create the perfect internal environment for visitors to the gallery, high performance insulation was required. Leading PIR manufacturer Celotex demonstrated it had a range of solutions that would provide the thermal performance the gallery required.
Architect: David Chipperfield
The steel framed concrete building has been designed to withstand the impact of a fast flowing river and as such the walls had to be reinforced to almost reservoir standard. The gallery walls float 30 millimetres above the floor, so hidden supports had to be constructed to support the magnesite floor. For a project where it was essential to protect the structure from the elements particularly the cold river water and fluctuating water levels, subcontractor Crown House installed 2,300 m² of 75mm thick Celotex GA4000 as lining for the concrete walls.
Made from PIR (polyisocyanurate) with foil facers for improved emissivity, Celotex GA4000 both achieve an excellent lambda of 0.022W/mK, a figure validated by the BBA (British Board of Agrement). Helping the project meet the desired U-values whilst meeting strict levels of energy efficiency, these products have been independently assessed by BRE Global and confirmed as achieving a low environmental impact, through its BRE Approved Environmental Profile. Celotex GA4000 has also been awarded an A+ rating when compared to the BRE Green Guide 2008.
The 75mm thick Celotex GA4000 was used in the cavity walls of the steel framed building - fitted between the external concrete walls and internal block walls. These durable and extremely lightweight boards, available in a range of thicknesses from 50mm to 100mm and a standard board size of 1,200mm x 2400mm, are easy to cut to fit using hand tools making them ideal for a speedy application.
Now complete, Celotex has played a crucial role in such a unique building. The bold lines and modern architecture of the striking new Hepworth Gallery will undoubtedly be a fitting home for an outstanding collection of British art and will including original sculptures by the gallery's namesake, Barbara Hepworth, who was born in Wakefield and went on to become one of the greatest sculptors of the 20th century.

This took much hauling of concrete. The structure was steel re-bar supported. Then the guys built this form underneath. The concrete ranges from 4 - 7 inches thick
bruggen natuurparken rotterdam, footbridges, architect: schiemann weyers architects
Within the scope of maintenance measures, concerning a wide range of footbridges situated in nature-parks of Rotterdam, the municipality has decided to replace several of the seriously damaged bridges. The brief asks for a design approach being nearly invisible - a bridge blending into its surrounding. Second issue of the brief is to 'redesign' a standard prefab bridge, a catalogue-bridge having proofed its abilities.
For this reason schiemann weyers collaborated with Haasnoot Bruggen, one of the most experienced Dutch companies in the field of prefab bridges.
The design for the family of plank-bridges comprises two variable components - the 'platform' and the 'railing". These components are persistent concerning their formal appearance but the bridges are able to adapt and react to their specific context. Each bridge is clearly recognizable as part of a sequence and is at the same time unique in its finishing.
The railing is assembled of bamboo composite bars, a rather new and sustainable material, combining the features of wood (natural appearance) with the characteristics of synthetic materials (low maintenance).
