(OP)
How do you usually handle this issue where after the formworks for the column is removed, there is a shallow portion not concreted so instead of 40mm concrete cover, there is only 30mm. Do you put cement grout or epoxy to maximize the strength of that portion?

How can you tell if there is honeycomb inside at the center of the column where it can't be seen outside?

regarding detecting voids inside the concrete using Radar Scanning.

The column corner has honeycomb, I'll have it chipped until it reaches sound concrete. But what if the honeycomb reaches 25% of the column section. How do you know when the entire column must be replaced or repoured with new concrete?

It is construction in progress. Will the column be as strong when you have to chip off 25% of the area and put new concrete or would you need to chip off (or demolish) the entire column and pour fresh concrete?
