lenght up to 330m / 1100 feet

4. ®
The concrete is cast on the
membrane. Normal
reinforcement and concrete
mixes can be used.
The membrane is spread
on the bottom of the
casting table.
The membrane is made in
Finland and shipped to a
local concrete factory.

5. ®
The aggregate is partly exposed
resulting in the desired graphic
concrete pattern.
Where the retarder has been on
the membrane, the surface
cement is still wet and can be
washed away. The element is
high pressure washed.
The hardened element is de-
moulded the following day and
the membrane is removed.
