Hmm. So they sacked the CEO of Abu Dhabi F1 Management earlier this month, now they are admitting that they can't hand over the facility as scheduled.....

It's not looking good.....

only 6 months late.... nah really some are more like 2 years late. the funny thing is that they say they have men working 24/7 what happens in the months july/august etc when the allowable hours worked gets reduced, and the other more important factor that you shouldnt be pouring concrete at 40deg, let alone 35deg when its dark (bet they will be tho).

id card, whats that, havent got one, waiting until 2010.

Hmmmm, so 6 weeks ago, everything was peachy...

But in the space of 6 weeks, they may be as much as 4 weeks behind schedule. Based on the 2 steps forward, 1 step back methodology, that would mean that they will be 5 months behind schedule on race day.....

Why would you not be pouring concrete in 40deg heat? Do you think all concreting here stops when it gets beyond 40deg?
So long as the maximum heat of hydration (which typically occurs 2-3 days after the pour) doesn't exceed the specified maximum you should be ok. That's why they replace water with ice!

no they shouldnt pour concrete when its too hot, hence why we have so many "good jobs" done with it here. It depends on what you are building, but if you are building infrastructure etc then it shouldnt be poured when its "too" hot even cooling it down.

It's amazing what we learn here, really, we start off with the track behind schedule and end up with lessons in pouring concrete.
Wish I'd known that 20 years ago then my first wife might not have got out.
