    Dave, was reviewing your photos of the NWM concrete pour. Thought you would like to know that the concrete is delivered in concrete trucks, not cement trucks. Cement trucks deliver “cement” (ground up limestone) to the ready mix concrete plants. Cement, aggregate and water are joined together in the ready mix trucks to make concrete as the drums of the trucks revole mixing the above to make conrete. Cement is an ingredient of conrete.

    @Dietrich I’ve tweaked the story, and oddly had this discussion (cement vs concrete) just the other day.
