The MSOE Concrete Canoce team has flipped their canoe and is getting ready to work on the inside. About one more month left until compeition!!
The MSOE Concrete Canoe Team has started to fill in the inlays for our concrete canoe. We are almost done with the outside and hoping to have the canoe filled while in the next two weeks!
The steel bridge design has been completed and we are currently in the fabrication process. We have ordered the steel and will begin cutting and welding the pieces together that form our bridge. Stay tuned for updates on the fabrication process.
After the concrete canoe cured for 4 weeks, the MSOE concrete canoe team began sanding with very coarse sand paper. Once all the small blemishes and smoothness is sanded out the team will start applying a "slurry" mixture to the canoe to make the colors vibrant. Stay tuned for more updates!
The MSOE concrete canoe team poured their canoe December 11th 2021 before going on winter break. During winter break, the canoe cured in the curing tent for four weeks with a humidity of 90% and temperature of 80 degrees Fahrenheit. This allowed the canoe achieve its ultimate strength. We are not currently sanding the canoe to achieve a smooth and even look.
