    Need to pour a concrete driveway on a 15 metre slope that is at a 25 degree slope. Other than using a pretty dry mix from the truck is there anything else you would recommend? Definitely can't afford to have it slumping. Will have rebar mesh in place

    25 degrees sounds challenging.

    These guys are struggling with a 1 in 10.

    My first thoughts would be to do it in meter long sections. Maybe instead of shuttering put cement pavers around the edges and across the drive at 1m intervals then fill the gaps one at a time with concrete. Actually better to do it in two loads and fill alternate bays so you can work between them better. So you fill 1,3,5,7,9,11,13 and 15 in one session then at least 2 days later fill in the remaining bays.

    However lot of work.

    Wake me up when it's all over.
