Concrete looks simple, but the quality of a finished slab, beam or drain is decided by decisions made well before the pour begins.
The checks that matter
Formwork, reinforcement and materials should be inspected and approved before any concrete is placed. Once it is poured, mistakes are expensive to correct.
- Confirm formwork is clean, rigid and correctly aligned
- Check reinforcement spacing and cover against drawings
- Verify material quality and mix requirements
- Plan placing, compaction and curing in advance
Curing is the step most often rushed. Protecting fresh concrete from drying too quickly helps it reach its intended strength and durability.
