Grout & Concrete Placement Times
Grout & Concrete Placement Times
(OP)
I have a situation where a contractor placed cementious grout after the 90-minute bath to placement time. I, as the EOR, was not aware of this until a list was provided from 4 months prior. The 28-strength sample was taken after placement, and had 5460psi.
The final strength is more than I need or specified. What other problems should I be concerned about that may require additional investigation.
-Would inadequate consolidation be an issue?
-Uneven curing?
-Anything?
Thanks!

The most common problem with cell fill is consolidation. Have the contractor check to see that the cells are properly filled using a variety of non-destructive methods....(infrared thermography, GPR, sounding, etc)
