Rutgers Concrete Canoe


Take a look at the progress we've been making on the canoe this week....


Bow of the Canoe Mold
Stern of the Canoe Mold
Hot Wire Foam Cutting Process
18 feet of the mold assembled (out of 20 ft)

In the coming days we hope to apply the drywall compound to the mold to fill in any imperfections and a second layer as well to help maintain a uniform shape. After this layer, a polyester resin will be applied in 2 layers to provide a smooth, strong surface for the concrete to rest on.

The target day for the concrete placement is Friday, Feburary 12th. According to the construction schedule, concrete placement on the mold is on the Critical Path.
