C.)  Concrete Placing & Curing

Ensure that concrete pour is scheduled and correct design mix is well coordinated as per approved area to be poured.

Proper coordination with approved Ready Mix supplier to be coordinated for concrete pump locations & Technicians to be present during the pouring for cubes sample requirements.

Ensure that MEP requirements are coordinated and approved prior to start casting of concrete.

Ensure concrete vibrator, proper lighting and access are provided during casting of concrete.

Correct concrete procedure should be followed to avoid segregation /pump discharge hose to be in correct height / acceptable level  during actual discharging  of concrete.

Ensure that delivered concrete is the correct/ required design mix  and temperature, slump and sampling procedure is on the acceptable limits as per specification requirement.

In case of manual pouring concrete skip/bucket will be utilized .Concrete skip will be lifted to the pouring location by crane.
