1st Floor:- The initial slab to the 1st floor is expected to be poured after Easter in w.c. 13/4/2012. These slabs consist of a set of precast concrete planks (temporary supported) with an insitu concrete topping with strands (steels within tubes) which are stressed (tightened at the ends) after the concrete has set hard.
