The scrap ixmn was all prebatched

in 55 gallon drums which were handled from trailers to the mixer by
crane. The limonite and the cement were hand dumped into the tier.
TO

insure complete mixing of the cemnt In the tier, it was necessary

to spread the cement in a layer wer the limnite and add the scrap
iron on top of it. The heavy iron pieces were not run through the
mixer but were poured Into the crane kndled bucket simultaneously
with the concrete as it came out of the tier.

When the bucket was

dumped over the forms, ths heavy iron pieces were distributed satisfactorily as the concrete fell through the reinforcing steel. Additional
heavy Iron was hand placed under the slota throu~ holes in the bottoms
of the slot forms.
Based on experience at Runit and %gebi, some of the wall steel
was left out around the dmr and hatch frams and around the.slots to
provide more opening for the special concrete to flow under and around
these obstructions. A one foot layer of the mix without nuts, bolts, .
●nd heavy iron was poured first. This was followed by another one foot

layer of the regular mix without the heavy iron pieces.
The removal of the inside forms and the slot forms of all the Gamma
Buildings wes extremely difflcult because of the small interiors.
