cooling pipes in a mass concrete
cooling pipes in a mass concrete
(OP)
The contractor will cast a thick foundation having a thickness of 2.7 and 4.3m in one single phase. No construction joints are allowed.
As this is considered a mass concrete, temperature control is a must. therefore, we are going to cast it during the night and using embedded cooling pipes where a cold water will circulate. These cooling pipes (10cm diameter and having a spacing of 1.5m between them) are located at the mid depth of the concrete section.
The contractor will submit an official paper saying how he will control the water temperature at the inlet and outlet.
My question is : After concrete pouring, shall these pipes be filled with grout or no need ?

I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.
