The slabs varyin size, the largest being 2x8 and 4x6 ft.and 2 in. thick. Joints between slabs aremade tight by the use of beveled lugs onthe edges fitting into channels. A 6x6 in.mesh No. 6 wire reinforcement is used.Slabs are cast in wooden trays at thecasting yard in a gravel pit and arehandled with a chain block traveling onan overhead rail.
