Air placement cuts column concreting costs
Within Atomic Energy Commission's billion-dollar gaseous diffusion plant near Paducah, Ky, are large structures with thousands of steel columns that require encasement, to reduce vibration frequency; concrete is pumped into prefabricated forms with grouting machines; concrete is pushed through side of form past sliding gate which is closed to hold wet concrete inside when form is full.
