What are the Stages of Concrete Pouring?
1. Pre-Pour Inspection: At this stage, general contractors review essential details such as structure drawings, waterproofing systems, schedules, mix design, and other project specifications. It’s important to consider the impacts of cold weather.
2. Concrete Pour: At this stage, general contractors focus on the concrete mix, taking the time to assess the discharge time, the properties of the loads, the jobsite nuances, and the monitoring systems essential for the curing period.
3. Post-Pour (Stage 1 and Stage 2): This stage is divided into two parts. First, general contractors carefully follow the curing schedule, ensure protection for cold weather conditions, and keep track of the temperature and maturity data provided by concrete sensors. And lastly, they take care of formwork removal and concrete finish.
