Big floor, big effort, great result!

Allied Concrete Nelson have recently completed a 730m3 continuous pour for a Air Nelson Hanger. The floor which was layed by Conslab for main contractor Mainzeal is thought to be the largest continuous pour for a post tensioned floor in the South Island.

From the first delivery on Friday night through to completion 14.5 hours later 117 deliveries of concrete were made. Trucks and drivers were bought in from Allied Blenheim and Greymouth as well as from sister company Transit Mix.

John Key officially opened the $14m hanger which took 11 months to complete and came in under budget and deadline.
