Work Commute - Average speed

[soap]

Would have been nice to leave 696 alone this year but we had to get it done because it is the detour route for the 75 and 94 construction that is going to start in 2019.

The same thing happened on 696 last year with the mix. So, not only are they behind, they will get to torture us some more when they are replacing the affected sections....

And, how did they catch this after the concrete has cured? Why didn't they catch it while the pour was being done? Were these the same people who were watching Epstein?

They screwed up when they did M-14 a while back too. Then ended up blacktopping over the brand new concrete.

Gotta understand concrete is rated in compression strength in PSI's once it cures. You can't determine the PSI until it cures so testing is usually done by core drilling a section or doing a rebound test but those can only be done after the concrete has cured not during the pour.

My average speed to work is 44-47 mph according to google maps. That's on the expressway. If I take dirt rd bemis all the way to work, it is still a average speed of 40-42mph, and less than a 10th of a percent of assholes on the road.

I'm not going to pretend to know anything about the cement business. But, wouldn't there be a log-book, where the mix formula's of all "good" pours were recorded over time (also measuring temperature and humidity, etc during the pour) in order to take the guess work out of it?...........your explanation makes it sound like anyone can mix-up some rocks, sand, and water in a kiddie-pool, stir it around, pour it out, and have the same chance of a "good pour" as a professional cement company................
