An overview of the method developments to date, back to when the concrete mix started as a specialized blend, and now migrated toward becoming normal concrete. With a low-dose of inexpensive admix, injected into the pump line, normal batch-plant concrete can develop repeatable false-sets, with extreme shear thinning, to allow casting walls without forms, or with foam panels one side, etc, with pumped-in-place concrete - that is very sensitive to vibration. We can now inject the admix near the end pump line for applications such as the excavator-guided placement. That will become a self-correcting attachment for defining wall planes. Vibration technology is being improved now, so that fully-consolidated placement can occur in the confines of the plate as fast as the pump will go.
The slip-screed will go big scale, to make concrete placement against existing vertical surfaces as fast and inexpensive as possible. We will work on very-rapid tower construction.
