I imagine they’ll just lay it atop the rock/slurry work. I want to see how they start out with the RCC to fill in the rough spots. Might be tough maneuvering the vibrating rollers until they get some smooth places to work with.
Back when I was doing some paving of yards for sawmill log storage back in the 80s, RCC was a new thing. First place I ever saw anything about it was at the 1984 New Orleans Worlds Fair. Someone had a booth with literature.
I can see how it could be very economical in some applications. No forms, no reinforcing. Lots of concrete in a short period of time.
I do not understand, can not picture in my mind, how they
can apply RCC in the plunge pool (AKA Moonbeam’s Canyon).
How do you put in a layer of RCC and then compact it
(rinse and repeat) into a deep crevasse like that?
Apply a layer of RCC and then lower a compacter into the hole?
It is also not going to be easy to use RCC on the uneven
surface of the emergency spillway overflow area.
I hope we get pictures/videos when the plan comes together.
Yes, I was with a wood products company for 25 years and
have seen a lot of RCC used in wood yards, sawmill runs, etc.
