countryman Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 Would it cost to have a concert base that is 50ft x 25ft for an Agricultal use ie Tractors, mowers etc. Not sure how deep it will need to be but let's say 6 inches with reinforced metal . I have not got any quotes yet but it would be good to have a rough idea from those in the now. Thanks Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-dot Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 Concrete is best measured in metric.LengthXwidthXdepth. depending on your location. 30nm S2 slump or instead of mesh use metal or polypropylene fibres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 How much weight will you be putting on it ? 6" on a solid base will take tipper wagons. Tractors are usually quite a low ground pressure so should be fine. Personally I'd get some proper calcs done with fiber Crete and weldmesh see what's the best for you.

countryman Posted September 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 May be I do not need the base 6 inches thick, the most weight would be about 5 tons. Thanks Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Chris It's more than overall weight it's how that weight is spread. Also what type of ground the base is going on is a factor too.
