On Thursday, April 15, the concrete floor was poured for the new Ski-Hi event center. The pour was 30,553 feet and done in one day. It took 64 truckloads of cement to complete. The entire process took 19 hours starting at 4 a.m. and finishing a little after 11 p.m. Twenty-four people worked on the pour including the screed operator. The concrete was supplied by Mathias Concrete. This was the largest concrete job Alcon Construction has ever poured at one time. ‘This pour was a huge accomplishment for Alcon, many hours were worked, and details planned out in preparation. Everyone involved deserves a ton of credit for pulling this large concrete pour off. There are no construction joints in the main events center side of the concrete floor which will make this floor much more seamless and user friendly,’ Brian Cook of Alcon Construction told Valley Publishing.
