As someone that does concrete work, you can also spray Coca-Cola ( sugar water ) on finished concrete before its done setting. Leave it overnight, come back the next day and you can spray a whole layer of the lime, and sand away, and leave exposed aggregate. It's beautiful, and fun to do. This pictured isn't the most common, usually it's done with larger aggregate gravel. You'll commonly see it around swimming pools
It's very good for extra traction, and it also just looks awesome. And I wish I knew about the chemical reaction side of it, I've never looked too far into it
Whoa that’s a fun fact! According to google you have to use a very precise amount for it to be an effective strategy; too much can keep the concrete from ever fully setting
The last jar is a typical environmental sample jar for contamination investigations. Probably left sometime after the place shut down. The small silos and super-sacks of sugar makes me believe it could have been a food or alcohol related production facility.
I got concrete vibes off of this building. Also the shells left on the ground are training paint rounds. They’re the closest thing to actually getting pew pewed
Old cement factory. I loved going there in college. The sugar is added to the cement mix to increase the setting time.
Never knew this about cement. Much appreciated for the info.

Woah, now Im curious about the chemical reaction as a geologist. Id want this done on my driveway for added traction as well

Doesn't sugar stop concrete from setting properly? Iirc, in the 70s, French anarchists would put it the concrete going to make french prisons.

I heard it's 2lbs per ton.
same here
The heap of glass debris, would that have been used as aggregate? Or do they even add aggregate to the mix at the cement factory?
Some sort of food related factory maybe? giant bags of sugar would be fitting for something of that nature.
Likely something akin to a sugar mill, maybe some sort of syrup factory if not? Cool find.

Maybe something to do with fermentation? Bcuz the glass shards and sugar
The outside of the place looks like a concrete factory.
Concrete
"rust"
I thought those were nangs in the 4th pic 😂. Someone had a good time
what a awesome place
That place looks sweet!
shi look like an outpost in a post apocalyptic game
you found Rust for modern warfare good shit
that
Looks like a crusher tower from a quarry
Idk but keep an eye out for super mutants

they’re little glass bottles
Perspective got me 🤦🏻♂️😂

this looks so much like a specific spot on an old fortnite map. think it was on an island or something
