The concrete floor slab was poured at the end of June. The drying out of the 15 cm thick slab takes 28 days. It is watered daily to prevent too rapid drying and reduced quality. Time to start the next phase: preparation for pouring the columns.
After a lot of preparation works, the 28th & 29th of June mark an important milestone for the Nile Institute Rwanda. With the help of more than 100 people from the village, the concrete floor plate was poured, finishing the foundation works on schedule!
While last time the Groundworks & base Foundation works were documented, this time we're moving on to the advanced foundations in preparation of the floor plate.
