More reinforcement..
Hi All,
Craziness this end once again – sounds like everyone is getting heaps of work. I must admit I think Roy beats me on the hours worked at the moment. My main issue is that my boss has gone underground to schedule an enormous amount of reinforcement – upper and lower piers, diaphragms and tie beams, all of which are different as there is no uniformity on this job. She has abandoned me for 4 weeks to sort out Thailand stuff on my own – very irritating and upsetting – also, no return date planned and v poor communication. As such, I’ve made a complaint/petition to the ops manager to see if I can move to a more on-site role….should be ok. Perhaps Steve would say she’s failed ‘communication 101’?
Anyhoo, I’m off to Darwin for a week as I started here 2 weeks early, I have some leave up my sleeve! I hope she will be back by the time I return.
Please see my blog at www.roselliott.wordpress.com for some reinforcement pictures….if you’re interested in reinforced concrete looking like a steel structure!

Ros, what mix of conc are you using with that and what’s the compaction / vibration criteria? Can you tell us some more about the form work design and your involvement in it? Strange that your boss is scheduling the reo…my experience is that it’s all done by the supplier off of IFC drawings! Same company but different contractual arrangements maybe? Do you know the detail of the steel supply contract? Enjoy your hols!
