I was visiting a friend and in their neighborhood all of the curbs were cut for driveways (they were not poured for the cutouts).Â
This might have saved some time for the carpenters forming & pouring the concrete. But it created additional work for the concrete cutters and the finishing of the driveways.
This lack of pre-planning created:
- additional time to cut the curb,
- dust (and silica, for sure),
- the use of additional water (hopefully) to control the dust,
- respirators (& cartridge filters),
- exposure to noise, dust, silica
I don’t know the circumstances why this occurred, but I wonder if the person planning the development thought of the exposures to other human beings?
ps. Sorry for my blogging absence. Have been on vacation! (for some of it)
