How to plug holes
How to plug holes
(OP)
I am currently working on a retrofit project for which I need to drill some holes and epoxy in some rebars for a bridge barrier.
But, the problem is, due to some unavoidable reasons I have to drill the holes ahead of time and install the bars after few months. I want to plug the holes during this period, so that in the winter months the water does not get in the holes freezes and cracks the concrete. Just before installing the bars, I shall remove the plugs and proceed. Since its for bridge barrier the plugs need to be tough but easy to remove.
Can you guys advise some plug materials which are easily available?

The only reason I want it tough because I do not want it to wear out. I am expecting heavy construction and traffic on top of it.

Here are a few options.
When you say barrier, I assume you are talking about a vertical traffic barrier surface? I am also confused about the durability required for such an item.
Good luck,

Don't like any of the above ideas, particularly the wax and sealant, as your epoxy then won't work.
